Shubman Gill amps up brand game with new MRF deal (Screengrab)<\/span><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

TimesofIndia.com in Dubai:<\/span> India vice-captain Shubman Gill<\/a> has added another big brand to his already strong portfolio as the youngster will now sport an MRF sticker on his bat from the Champions Trophy<\/a> semi-final game against Australia. When he walks out to bat, Gill will be joining an elite list of endorsers that also includes Virat Kohli<\/a> and has a strong legacy.
It is understood that the formalities are completed and brings to end a long association the right-hander had with CEAT who signed him during his India U-19 days.
Gill’s brand game is bustling as the 25-year-old has deals in place with Nike, Mercedes, Dior, Coca Cola, Beats by Dre, Tata Capital, Bajaj Allianz, Casio and My11Circle. The deal with Apple, for their product Beats, was a first in the ecosystem as Gill became the first sportsperson from India to be their ambassador last year.

Already associated with many premium brands, Gill’s stocks are riding a bull run at the moment as even the advertisers have earmarked him as the face to invest in for the future.
The interest has only gone up since the right-hander was elevated to vice-captaincy in the series vs Sri Lanka last year and remained Rohit Sharma’s deputy for the ongoing Champions Trophy.<\/p>\n
