New Delhi : The advent of social media has allowed fans to get closer to the sports they love and the athletes they follow and look up to. With cricket being the most popular sport in India, it comes as no surprise that the Indian cricketers are the most followed sportsmen in the country.

Virat Kohli is one of the most popular athletes around the world. He has over 15 million followers on Instagram alone. On the other hand, he has over 20 million followers on Twitter and over 36 million followers on Facebook.

Since players are busy with a lot of other things, they usually tend to appoint agencies to manage their social media account.

According to Forbes magazine, Virat is the most expensive Indian athlete and earns a whopping Rs. 3.2 crore per Instagram post.

Kohli was also named amongst the most marketable athletes, ahead of global superstar Lionel Messi.

Arguably one of the best batsmen of all time, Kohli has led India to a lot of success ever since taking over as the captain of the side.

 According to reports, Kohli has earned 22 million dollars (141.3 million rupees) through brand endorsement contract, out of which he has earned 19 million dollars (Rs 122 crore) only and only in 2017 alone. 
In the first six months of the year, Virat Kohli was the only Indian player in the list of 100 highest-paid athletes to be released by Forbes. Virat was on the 88th position in this list. Recently, Virat Kohli has reached the second place after Sachin Tendulkar in the 32nd ODI century, in the highest century. He also completed 9000 ODI runs against New Zealand in the same ODI series and became the fastest reaching player to this figure. Now he is going to reach 2000 runs in T20 cricket too.

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
