Kohli, Sharma brand values to stay intact in short run despite Australia test issues: Ad experts
Live MintDespite recent challenges in the Test series against Australia during the Border-Gavaskar trophy, batsman Virat Kohli’s brand value should largely stay unaffected, but captain Rohit Sharma could see a dip in his advertising career in the long run after retirement. Brand and advertising experts told Mint brand Kohli will continue to prosper, provided his performance improves in the upcoming one-day series in June and the Indian Premier League but in contrast, Sharma’s longer-term brand, built largely on his leadership qualities, could face some risks due to his recent struggles with form. If brand Kohli 'ages' well and makes his asking price more attractive, he could remain relevant for many brands for many more years," said Sandeep Goyal, chairman of advertising agency Rediffusion. World Cup win In June 2024, when Team India won the T20 World Cup, both Sharma and Kohli played pivotal roles, significantly boosting their brand values.
