Too easy
It's quite cheap (comparatively) but it's not 'free'...
Well there must be a lack of competition in internet providers, but in India there are companies which provides data for more reasonable price. Paying $8.60 global average price is foolishness or they must be fooling u all this time.. We pay only $0.20/GB
Shomerful GG
Only bcuz u r duped by telecom operators in ur country shouldn't make u jealous of us... U shameless fox...
i never saw a cricket game in my life! i lived in england for 2 years

Do you know Rohit Sharma?
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have always been kinda equal with cricket skills but Virat is famous in India cuz of his bad boy image
i live in australia and i donât really like him as a bloke but iâll admit he is a bloody good batsman and has a passion for the game that not many others have
I am indian and I completely agree with you
True
See you at Gabba mate
He's a good bloke he's very competitive on the field like most top athletes
He was so popular before jio launched in india
Wrt his investments after jio he raised his stature.
@@ndgprasad no his hardwork gave him rise. Jio has played no part in his rise.
His game,his hardwork and his milestones gave him rise.
Ps- Don't forget 2016 ipl (900+runs)
Yup He Wasss!!!
No shit but social media presence became way more valuable and profitable
Hes talkin about social media influence đ
A video will be made on how Athletic Interest Rise After making an Indian based Video... I guarantee this will be your most viewed till now

Virat means HUGE LITERALLY âïž
@Mehta Isn't not true at all,virat had 80 million followers how many does liverpool have?
@Mehta Isn't MSD Fan?
'Coz of jiođ
It's not only about "virat" it includes INDIA. so if any foreigners talk anything famous related with indians your views will racket,more subs ,recognition and that's business...
What do you all think about the foreigners reaction videos and why do they do even do it,so that's where the huge population base works...
But this channel is really working good..
Virat Kohli was super famous in India even before the advent of free internet..in fact every cricketer in India is. But of course I agree with your point that his brand value had totally skyrocketed after JIO.
Also, not to forget, given the low cost of living in India, $20m in India would buy you what $80m would in USA.
My friend you don't seem like a guy who lives in Bombay, shit is expensive here.

@@sidskysingh Bombay is extreme in India, like Silicon Valley or Manhattan is in USA

Also because of higher dollar value that earnings looks less compared to US or Europe if dollar value was let's say half of what is current than the Value becomes double.

The title of the video should have been "The business of VEERAT Kohli"
Had to scroll too far for this, but it was worth it
Video is focusing only on the tip of the iceberg, when Kohli actually became a star. But he has been spending hours, everyday, on the cricket ground since he was a kid. This brand building and advertising does not require even 1% of skill and hard work compared to rising to rank 1 batsman in the world. Kohli becoming highest earning athlete in India is only a byproduct of Kohli at first place becoming most successful batsman in all three formats. So, neither rise of internet nor the marketing strategies but the sweat he shed on the field years after years makes him what he is today.
On point
Yeah, that's the first thing you need to be a superstar. And then, everything just follows. But good for him that he plays a game which is the most popular in a nation of 1.3 billion. There are many other athletes too in India who are associated to sports other than cricket. Have won medals for the nation in Olympics but never got the same recognition Or value as a cricketer gets. So, he should consider himself lucky in that prospect. But then, i agree with your views that he is one of the most hardworking sportsperson out there and he deserves what he is getting. Because more the popularity and demand, more the hard work it requires to be at the top.
Its the sole purpose of the video. THE BUSINESS of Virat Kohli.
Read the title
Mohit, Totally agree with you
He is telling us about his business model not his hard work and perseverance..
Under stand the topic of the video first then comment!!. I donot doubt his hard work but it doesn't tell us about it but his model of transforming indian cricket industry!!!
I canât imagine how much research these videos need. I really hope you keep up the fantastic efforts because these videos are incredibleđ
That's not a research..only thinking about đ°đ
People are really not getting the point of this video lol. Almost every cricketer who has a decent career will be famous in India but his social media following skyrocketed after Jio. The amount of followers, videos and views his videos got were bonkers. More the reach, more sponsors and more money.
But not of every cricketer
As a Indian I can see the effort and accuracy in this video. Great Job
I love the amount of reserch gone I to this. It's very well done. Like the fact that goa is the team he owns and how goa is know as the young party state. Thats a level of research no one else would go into
The research for this video was on point
I was genuinely surprised by the quality of information
Didnât expect a channel based in Europe to create content like this
Keep up the good work guys đđđđ
Tanush ramesh ? What even dimwit
Bro internet
Europe is the place where cricket and the internet both originated. Why wouldnt "Europe" be able to create internet content about cricket?
If only he had put in a little more effort and learnt to pronounce his name right.

i think CNBC already made a similar video
This explains how Puma was able to snatch Neymar from Nike interesting.
True did a grad research on this lol
Don't believe this guy he speaks what he think. Virat Kolhi was famous before JIO.
Yes I am following him from 2012.Jio was just a medium to stamp his popularity.
Form 2011 world cup.. Dude that's when we got to know him..
Dude just look at the difference in endorsement...
.
The advertisments have increased 3x in India since Jio revolution
Doesnt matter whetjer its on website or tv
Exactly & he is not aware about Cricket key Bagwaan Sachin Tendulkar ..Richest Cricketer in the world After that ...Magical Captain of India MS Dhoni ..
Of course cricketers were famous before Jio.They are talking about the huge difference Jio caused in his popularity.It's same like T-series.It was one of the most to benefit from cheap internet prices.
Finally a cricket video!! Thank you for covering a diverse range of sports!
Lmao, everyone were watching kohli even before jio was introduced
Then Sachin
Now Virat
Two reasons for my love of cricket!
Why are you saying that he rised because of free internet, Jio launched at end of the 2016, by that time he's already a star batsman, great video woww.
That's what he mentioned, Virat was on top when Jio was giving free internet and hence more and more people checked on Virat, who was headlining every news.
@@priyanujbora1642 he scored 2800+ run in 2017 most by any batsman...get ur facts checked..
@@akshaygolchha So the same internet boom continued why couldn't they unfollow him
damn how does this channel has 130k subs? the depth and explanation in these videos are exceptional.
2:03 that was only the case in India mate not world wide. The thing is we still had a Tendulkar until recently (he retired 7 years ago) and all of a sudden you have got this young ,handsome, aggressive yet a large hearted athelete and the traditional audience in India just went bonkers(cause Tendulkar usually stayed away from controversy). The youth love and have always emulated him. He is the CR7 of Cricket. He doesn't shy away to give it back to the English and the Australians while also maintaining the dignity of the team. It was just the double standards of Indian uncles which led to him being called a "controversialâ athlete. He is in fact a gem of a person with utmost respect to sportsmanship.
sorry but Anil Kumble wouldn't agree.
Ronaldo is man of attitude and have many haters, Ronaldo is like Kohli, Aggressive and Hardworking.
Sachin is like Messi, Humble and talented
Young , handsome, agressive !
@@rohangangar6210right!
Correct brother there is nothing wrong in his attitude and I think that's why he has the best records in n Australia against Australia....
Absolutely a LIVING LEGEND..đđđđ

The wait is over for another banger of a video!
Virat Kohli just name is enough to describe legend â„ïž
Great well researched essay mate, the brand management team is doing wonders for Kohli. Additionally he have invested heavily in Restaurents and he owns majority share in the brand management company and signing other rising athletes under the same company.
He not only created a brand for himself but also created a brand for other cricketers who are his friends. He is a true cricketer, friend and moreover brand. He established friendships with cricketers like AB deVilliers and helped him make a brand for himself. We can speak hours together to see him on field and also the duo together. He also owns a restaurant in New Delhi to promote veganism and a healthy diet. He is also into CSR activities and no chill, He may start a cricket revolution and make the sport more or less on par with football in the future. I have been a fan of him since his Ranji days. He continued his innings on the day of his father's demise. He is a gem. The video is great, Good Job.
King Kohli â€ïž
He should have been doing tours plus brand deals worldwide to promote the sport tbh. But now his brand has taken a dip due to his performance.
The perfect content and a very good detailed description .Good Job Guys
He is so famous in Indonesia also
@Abhimanyu jha
We watch IPL, NBA, Football, every single sport. But we don't play
@Abhimanyu jha
Indonesia is a huge country with 250million population. The southern parts follow cricket more compared to rest of the country but cricket doesn't make much viewership ,. Badminton, Football, Volleyball are the most popular games.
The Java island, Bali, Simba,Timor, Guinea share borders with Australia, PNG, NZL which are cricket crazy countries. We watch Bigbash more, then IPL
@Abhimanyu jha i also
Really ? I have many friends from Indonesia and they are following him on Instagram but I didn't know that he was so famous in Indonesia .. just because he is bigger than cricket
He is an absolute legend . He faces criticism sometimes coz of his attitude in the past but now he is very very mature .
He is just amazing and people who criticize him deep down they also know it
Celebrity worship only ever leads to pain. You are more than the stars you follow.

Ok athletic interest is the only sports business channel out there and itâs the BEST.
Love your vids. You deserve more subs.
Well said ! The King Kohli can take the pride of the game to next level
'MS Dhoni' and probably 'Sachin' were amount the highest ranking cricketing atheletes before Kohli. He's not the first
Again jealous
Yes, but they were not able to capitalize the stardom like kohli. For instance, Dhoni does a lot of ads but none of them are contributing to his brand, they only contribute to his wallet. What kohli has successfully done is create a brand that will fill his wallet even after he stops playing cricket.
The young population and internet made him influencial person apart from his outstanding cricket performance
These videos are always superbly researched and very well presented, very glad I've stumbled across this channel
This video just cemented my love for this channel....... Great job
Thanks for making these high quality vids man!
He is married to that woman and they are expecting their 1st child and sir, he doesn't go partying around. He is one of the disciplined people around.
He used to party a lot. But after his failure in the 2014 tour of England he decided to change himself. He understood that to be the best in the world fitness matters in the modern game. He worked hard for his fitness and changed his lifestyle after 2015 and hence now we are seeing a monster hitting bottom handed power flicks over mid wicket like nobody has ever done it before in the pitch!

@@iamkiddilam Sure, that batting prowess has not to do anything with business of Virat according to you.
Agreed. If he doesn't bat well all these shits fall apart
Exactly.. instead of acknowledging sheer talent and dedication of the guy, on the foundation of which all the business rests, video makes the marketing strategy and free internet as the sole reason for virat being one of the highest paid athletes
That's not a research..only thinking about đ°đ..those who telling it , need to be educated

To be frank he is not the first Cricketer nor the first Indian Cricketer, to be among the highest earning athletes in the world. In fact in the last decade, the only cricketer to be on that list was our former captain Ms Dhoni.
Thnkuuu for this video â€ïžđ
Well done.. well researched
When comes to popularity, no one can beat him
In India,yes
lol He is only famous in India
Ok people the video mentions on how virat grew as a brand more into endorsing and his earnings grew bcoz of it during the jio period.. It's a complementary effect .. No doubt he was damn famous before tht .. Its just tht the target audience increased..
The video and research is so well done great job athletic interest. đ„
Thank you!
He is undoubtedly a global superstar now.The way he present himself on the field, his dedication , hardwork and importantly his fitness made him what he is at this stage. I am sure if cricket was a global sport or if he was a footballer he would have been ruling there as well then i can't imagine where he would be at the moment đâ„ïžđ
