Mahendra Singh Dhoni, popularly known as MS Dhoni and who has notably been one of most successful captains of the Indian cricket team, stepped down from his role as the captain from ODI and T20 cricket. This comes after he had given up his Test cricket captaincy in December 2014, which paved way for Virat Kohli to lead the Indian cricket team and is now the top choice for captaincy of the ODI and T20 team.

While it Kohli seems to replacing Dhoni on the pitch, the same seems to be happening off the pitch too. In terms of brand endorsement for Dhoni the number had come down from 18 brands in 2014 which had earned him $27 million to 10 brands in 2016, since he announced his retirement from test cricket.

One of the biggest brands in his portfolio PepsiCo in August last year ended their 11-year association with Dhoni. The brand however has Kohli as their brand ambassador apart from Bollywood stars Ranbir Kapoor and Anushka Sharma. Some of the other brands that have brought their association with Dhoni to an end include Cello, Aircel, Titan, GE Money, Amarpali, Big Bazaar, Dabur Honey and Boost.

It seems like brands seem to sensing the end of his career approaching and have decided to take on a fresher face such as Kohli.

According to the Business Insider report, Kohli charges around Rs 2 crore a day versus Rs 1.5 crore by Dhoni. For annual contracts, Dhoni's fees is around Rs 8 crore.

However, the most successful cricketer on the brand endorsement pitch has been Sachin Tendulkar who has endorsed 50 brands with an estimated endorsement fee of over Rs 500 crore. While Tendulkar is still on the brand endorsement pitch, it has dropped down now to just a few. This shows that the time for Dhoni on the brand pitch too looks to come to end.
