5 Amazing things Virat Kohli can do with the power of his Instagram posts
While Virat Kohli is the leading cricketer in the world with regard to the performances on the field, he is second to none with regard to brand value either. His value as a brand is enhancing every day and currently, the status is such that if he puts an Instagram post endorsing a brand, it is reported he gets 0.5 million dollars per post (equivalent to 3.2 crores in Indian Currency) which effectively means every couple of his Instagram posts create a millionaire.
Here is a look at the 5 things that Virat Kohli can do with his earnings from Instagram
1. Gift Anushka Sharma Kohli a diamond ring
As we all know wives and girlfriends love gifts and if that gift is a diamond ring, their happiness bounds no proportions. However, not everyone’s pocket allows a diamond ring as it doesn’t come at a bargain price. The ring with which Brad Pitt proposed Angelina Jolie at their engagement cost him 250K dollars (1.6 Crore Indian Rupees).
It’s probably the lifetime income for a majority of the middle-class population. For Virat Kohli though, it’s only worth an Instagram post. Here goes a post up on Instagram and there comes a beautiful, designer diamond ring for Anushka right there.
2. Travel to Mars
Travelling is the thing in this generation and what can be a fascinating place to travel than a different planet altogether? If the SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is to be believed, travelling to Mars in future will cost only about 200K dollars (1.3 Crore Indian Rupees). Still sounds a lot? Well for you and me maybe, for Virat an Instagram post will do.
He can book a couple of tickets for himself and Anushka and the pair will be off to the Red Planet to spend some quality time away from the pressure and limelight of earth.
3. Buy a fancy car
Who doesn’t want a fancy car? While Virat is already the owner of quite a few sports cars, one of the fancy cars that he can actually fancy is Lamborghini Aventador. It’s a sports car powered with a 6498 cc petrol engine with a 7-speed automatic gearbox that gives a maximum power of 690.62 bhp @8250 rpm and produces 690 Nm @ 5500 rpm with a top speed of 350 kmph.
To cut it all short, the car is lightning fast and comes at a mere 5.36 crores, which is what, a matter of a couple of Instagram posts for Virat? The Indian players would surely want a ride on the captain’s Aventador except for Ravindra Jadeja who may refuse saying he can himself run faster than the car.
4. Buy a T20 team
The Bangladesh Premier League is in full swing at the moment and this year the league is drawing more attraction than ever as a lot of top players are taking field this time. The value of some of the BPL franchises is only a tad more than 5 million dollars. Rajshahi Kings values 5.35 million dollars (approx. 35 Crore Indian Rupees), while Khulna Titans values 5.5 million (approx. 36 Crore Indian Rupees).
Still not everyone’s cup of tea, yes, but Virat, if he wants, can have it covered with 10 or 11 of his Instagram posts. He can then build a team around his best friends Steve Smith, James Faulkner, Matthew Wade and Ben Stokes under the guidance of his mentor and role model Anil Kumble.
5.Produce his own biopic
Biopics of sportsmen has become quite a trend these days and Virat would also like a biopic on his story someday. Though his partner Anushka is a Bollywood producer herself Instagram may help him produce the movie all by himself. The production cost of Sachin’s biopic, Sachin-the Billion Dreams was roughly around 35 Crore Rupees.
Presuming the budget of Virat’s biopic will also be in the same range, how many posts the skipper will have to put on Instagram to match that number? Again 10 or 11 and the financial part of the movie is sorted. The only issue then will be to sign the actor and the actress. Well, that, in all likelihood, will be finalised by Virat’s Mahi bhai. Wait, the actress is already there, right?
