Gulf Oil signs Mahendra Singh Dhoni as its brand ambassador – Cricket News Update
Hinduja Group’s global investments corporation, Gulf Oil, has recently signed Indian Skipper, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, as it's brand ambassador, who will now be representing the lucrative organisation throughout the nation, as well as in the global markets.
Commenting on the newly formed association between the two of the most iconic brands of India, Gulf Oil’s President, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RD-Shah-c2298 Chawla stated that the venture comes as a perfect match, since Dhoni stands out as a true team leader, and has consistently performed
in all conditions.
“The brand (Gulf Lubricants) will benefit from the tremendous credibility across various demographics and geographies that http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 enjoys. We are naturally excited to have him as the face of the brand, as he is a youth icon – confident, result
oriented and in tune with the times,” added Chawla.
However, the venture does not come as a surprise since Gulf Oil, which is one of the fastest growing lubricant brands in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 and across the globe, already shares an association with Dhoni since the corporation is the official team partner of Chennai Super
Kings, for which Dhoni stands out as the team Captain.
As for Dhoni, the wicket-keeper batsman’s alliance with Gulf Oil not only comes due to the company’s affiliation with his domestic Twenty20 team but also because of the player’s passion for cars and bikes, since Gulf Oil already has a long association with
motorsports, such as Le Mans 24 hours endurance race as well as Aston http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Christopher-Alroy-Martin-c50714 Racing.
However, having been appointed as the face of Gulf Oil, Dhoni adds another name to his long roster of highly paid endorsements and sponsorships that have made the 30-year-old Captain the richest cricketer in the world.
Dhoni’s last year’s 200 crore deal with India’s Rhiti Sports Management and Mindscapes marked him as the richest cricketer in the world, surpassing his team mate, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556, who was previously offered 180 crore.
Dhoni is the highest paid cricketer in the cash-rich Indian Premier League (IPL), making $10 million per year, which is expected to be more this year. Apart from this, the affluent skipper also earns around $ 8million in endorsements like Reebok, General
Electric and Pepsi.
