Neeraj Chopra’s More Valuation Than Hardik Pandya: Neeraj Chopra and Manu Bhaker brought glory to India in the Paris Olympics. Neeraj won the silver medal in the javelin throw event, while shooting queen Manu Bhaker won two bronze medals. Manu was just one step away from winning the third bronze medal. Now Neeraj Chopra, who won the silver medal, seems to be leaving behind Indian cricket team’s all-rounder Hardik Pandya in terms of earnings.
There is news of shooter Manu Bhaker’s earnings also increasing manifold. According to a report by ‘Economic Times’, Neeraj Chopra’s value will increase substantially based on the data of financial advisory firm Kroll. According to the report, Neeraj’s value will increase from 29.6 million US dollars (about 248 crore Indian rupees) to 40 million US dollars (about 330 crore Indian rupees).
It was further told that before the Olympics, Neeraj Chopra’s value (monetary) was equal to that of Hardik Pandya, but it is expected that Neeraj will now leave Hardik Pandya behind. Currently, Neeraj is one of the most valuable athletes in India.
Manu Bhaker also won silver
Apart from Neeraj Chopra, Manu Bhaker’s value also saw an increase. According to reports, Manu recently signed a deal of Rs 1.5 crore with a soft drink. After the Paris Olympics, a big change has been seen in the fees of the shooting queen.
According to reports, before the Paris Olympics, Manu used to charge around Rs 25 lakh for signing a deal, which has now increased.
Speaking to the Times of India, Nirav Tomar, CEO and Managing Director of IOS Sports and Entertainment, the company that manages Manu Bhaker, said that around 40 brands had approached him for Bhaker’s signature.
