Recent Indian media reports are suggesting that Sharma's record-shattering performance at the World Cup and his latest exploits as India's new Test opener have opened the floodgates to a lot of brand deals for the MI skipper.

Rohit's revival

Rohit Sharma has had a magnificent 2019 so far. The MI skipper won the IPL trophy for a record fourth time with his team in this year's Indian Premier League. After that, Sharma smashed five centuries in the World Cup and almost single-handedly took the Indians to the semi-finals where they got knocked out by New Zealand. On the Test frontier, Sharma had not gotten too much attention but as the Proteas visited India, Sharma was made the new Test opener along with Mayank Agarwal. Sharma smashed his way to the record books and scored 529 runs in just four innings.
