Mahendra Singh Dhoni was frontrunner in both performances and earnings
Although former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni retired from international cricket some time ago, his brand value remains quite high. During his peak (as the Indian captain), Dhoni reportedly charged Australian company Spartan between ₹5.50 and ₹6 crore annually for placing their logo on his bat. Now that he is also on the verge of retiring from the IPL, he doesnt earn as much as he used to, but its still a substantial amount.

Rohit Sharma has one of the highest endorsement deals
Rohit Sharma is one of the worlds most explosive batsmen. While he may not play Test or T20 cricket anymore, he still commands a hefty fee when it comes to bat sponsorship deals. He currently earns between 3-4 crore rupees annually from CEAT. Rohits earnings have remained consistent throughout his career. Although he is now playing only one format of the game, his continued success in the IPL each year ensures that his sponsorship fees remain stable.
