Top Ten Wealthiest Cricketers In India
Sachin-Tendulkar
Mahendra-Singh-Dhoni
Yuvraj-Singh
Yuvraj Singh aka Yuvi is said to be worth $30 million and is
a key figure in the world of cricket. Yuvraj has made most of his millions
through sponsorships. In fact, he was even signed on by Microsoft to promote
the Xbox 360. Yuvraj has also been the face of brands like Fiat and Reebok.
This year, Yuvraj was noted as being one of the most expensive players in the
IPL 7.
Rahul-Dravid
Everyone’s favorite shy-guy Rahul Dravid comes in 4th
on this list, with a net worth of $20 million. He is an extremely-gifted player
and has been a regular member of the Indian national team since 1996. Though he
has retired from the game, he still makes his way onto the list maintaining his
wealth through miscellaneous assignments.
Virat-Kohli
Virendra-Sehwag
‘Viru’ or Virendra Sehwag was a prolific player until his
injury in 2011. In 2013, the final nail in the coffin of Sehwag’s career was
his unceremonious drop from the Test, ODI and T20 sides. Even as part of the
Delhi Daredevils at the IPL this year, he had a bit of a quiet time. This
didn’t stop him from making Rs 25.64 crore.
Gautam-Gambhir
Gautam Gambir seems to have been sidelined by newer players
like Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma, but he still ranks higher on this list
than both of them. Gambhir is said to have a net worth of $8 million. But like
everyone else, Gambhir’s pennies seem to stem from his endorsement deals, of
which he has three lined up this year.
Rohit-Sharma
Relative newbie Rohit Sharma attracted tons of interest in
2013, when he broke many IPL records, making people tout him to be the next
rising star. This star has already risen to an approximate net worth of about
$6 million.
Ravindra-Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja has come a long way from being ridiculed and
laughed at. And now, it seems that he is laughing all the way to the bank –
with a net worth of Rs 16.58 crore. Jadeja is ranked the fifth-best ODI
all-rounder and the third-best ODI bowler. Jadeja has six endorsement deals to
his credit as well as the $2 million he makes from his IPL deal.
Suresh-Raina
To this day, Suresh Raina remains the highest IPL scorer of
all time with 2,802 runs. He is currently ranked 7th in the world
among T20 batsmen and is said to have an approximate net worth of Rs 16.16 crore.
