Rohit Sharma is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world right now. His performance in ODIs and T20Is and most recently Tests has been really impressive. The only man to score three double centuries in ODIs and four centuries in T20Is, Rohit Sharma asserted his dominance in the game with a scintillating performance in this year's World Cup.

He scored as many as five centuries in the tournament, helping India finish the league stage at the top and make it to the semifinal with ease. Rohit Sharma finished the competition as the highest run-scorer. In the ongoing home season, he was asked to open in Tests for the first time and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands.

In the three-match series against South Africa, he scored three centuries including a career-best 212 in just four innings. The Mumbai star finished the series as the top run-scorer and walked away with the Man of the Series award. And the impressive performances on the field has helped Rohit Sharma strike big in the advertising world.

The India opener is a big hit in the world of endorsements. According to Economic Times, he has signed up for 10 new brands so far this fiscal at about 55% higher rates than earlier. At his current run rate, the 32-year-old batsman is expected to earn Rs 73-75 crore from the total 22 brands he endorses. The report claimed that Rohit Sharma's brand value shot up after this year's World Cup.

He is now only behind India captain Virat Kohli and former captain MS Dhoni among cricket celebrities in terms of earning from endorsements.

"The brand Rohit Sharma has seamlessly evolved over the last few years and has created a niche market for itself,"said Nikhil Bardia, head of sponsorship sales at IMG-Reliance that has been managing Sharma's commercial deals for four years now.

As per the report, Rohit is now charging around Rs 1 crore a day with a minimum guarantee of two days a year deal. On the other hand, Kohli, who is the highest paid cricketer, charges almost 3-4 times that of Rohit and endorses around the same number of brands.
