<p>Forbes revealed its Indian list of Celebrity 100 for 2019 and you will be surprised to see that cricketer Virat Kohli left all actors behind to take the first position. The Indian cricket team captain replaced Salman Khan on the first position as the handsome actor climbed down to number 3.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The second position was taken by Akshay Kumar who had several film releases this year and was also a part of many brand endorsements, making a big chunk of his annual earnings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Virat managed his uphill task to the top position, and was successful for the first time in eight years since the launch of Forbes India Celebrity 100 List, to replace all Indian actors. He earned Rs 252.72 crore between October 1, 2018, and September 30, 2019. His earnings are a collective of match fees, the BCCI central contract, brand endorsements and an eight-figure fee for every sponsored Instagram post.</p>

<p>Second on the list, Akshay Kumar earned Rs 293.25 crore while Salman Khan, who ruled at the top since 2016 slipped to number 3 with Rs 229.25.&nbsp;</p>
