According to Mint, Kumar has outperformed Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul in terms of endorsement value. In October alone, Kumar struck deals with GlobalBees-owned UrbanGuru, Boult Audio, Pintola peanut butter, and Das Foodtech. Successful young cricketers command endorsement fees ranging from Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore every day.
“Backed by his on-field performance, his social media presence has increased by more than 300 percent, and he’s now among the top ten active Indian cricketers on Instagram,” RISE Worldwide Limited’s head of sponsorship sales and talent management, Nikhil Bardia, told Mint.
“He is quickly establishing himself as a match-winner, something that very few cricketers have done. His ability to play in all directions has drawn marketers searching for a new, competent, and dependable face in the industry. He has the ability to expand his portfolio to include more than 15 brands, including Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, and Hardik Pandya “Aviral Jain, managing director of valuation advisory at Kroll, an American corporate investigation and risk consulting business, also commented.
Kumar is the second-highest run-scorer in the current T20I World Cup, trailing only Virat Kohli. He has 225 runs in 5 games and a strike rate of 193.96. He has three scores this season, the most of any player with fifty or more.
He is now the world’s highest-rated ICC T20I batsman.
