P V Sindhu, stands at a tie for the 13th position with a Thai Golfer Ariya Jutanugarn with total earnings of 5.5 million USD that amount to almost 39 crores in Indian rupees. With her shining track record in the sport and some huge and hefty endorsements in her bag, especially the very recent collaboration with the Chinese brand Li Yung for 50 crores for a four-year period, the badminton player has come close to the 100 crore endorsement deal Virat Kohli had with Puma in 2017 for 8 years.

About her, Forbes said, “Sindhu remains India’s most marketable female athlete. She became the first Indian to win the season-ending BWF World Tour finals in 2018.” And we quite agree with them. P V Sindhu has always outdone herself in the sport and in general, to make all of us proud. She has inspired us by becoming a beacon of hope for all the women in the country to reach  for the stars as she did and so beautifully succeeded.

Way to go P V Sindhu!
