Virat Kohli is Our ‘Salesmen of the Year’– Can You Guess Why?

Virat Kohli should be awarded the brand ambassador of the year award and we have some legit reasons.

From his feats on the pitch to his life off it, Indian cricket captain Virat Kohli always makes news. But did you know that Virat Kohli has a secret superpower?

You know that Kohli is rather active on Instagram. But what if we told you that he is a pro at social media promotions?

Kohli seems to be endorsing plenty of brands at the moment. But he seems to be taking his Instagram promotion game a little too far. Every other post seems to be some sort of a promotion. Sometimes it is shoes, other times it’s watches, or even earphones. Don’t believe us? See it for yourself.

DISCLAIMER: Lots of promotions ahead!

Brand Promotion #1: Puma

Virat Kohli recently bought a pair of Puma shoes. And he seems to be the happiest man alive on this planet after “unboxing” his new footwear.

Brand Promotion #2: Tissot

Here’s the short-tempered Mr Kohli urging men to be a gentleman in this post.

Brand Promotion #3: American Tourister

He is lifting American Tourister bags and, lifting there promotions, both at the same time. Multitasking you see.

Brand Promotion #4: Muve acoustics

Do you know which brand Kohli likes the best? We think it’s Muve Acoustics, a headphone brand. He simply can’t seem to get enough.

Brand Promotion #5: Nueva

Kohli has also been promoting new food outlets.

Brand Promotion #6: AB de Villiers Smartphone App

Even when he’s travelling for tournaments, Kohli manages to slip in some promotion.

In case you don’t know this already, Kohli is one of the world’s highest paid athletes, and has the highest endorsement fees among sportspersons in the country. According to reports, his endorsement fees are in the Rs 2-5 crore range.

Keeping all this in mind, is there any reason why we shouldn’t call him India’s 'Salesmen of the year’?

Jokes apart, we love Virat Kohli!
