Guess Who Is the Richest Cricketer? You Won’t Believe Who Tops the List!

When we think of cricket’s richest players, only some names pop into our heads, maybe Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, or MS Dhoni. However, today, not a person on that list is the richest cricketer; actually, none of them are. The richest cricketer is Aryaman Birla, son of an Indian industrialist, Kumar Mangalam Birla.

Aryaman Birla: The Surprise Winner

Aryaman Birla played for a couple of games for the Rajasthan Royals in the IPL and played some Ranji Trophy matches as well, but Aryaman’s net worth of ₹70,000 crore comes from the Aditya Birla Group (a conglomerate run by his family). Aryaman doesn’t have much of a cricketing career, with 414 runs in 9 matches, but plays an active role in the operations of the group.

After Aryaman, we have cricketing legends at the top with Sachin Tendulkar worth an estimated ₹1,300 crore as India’s richest retired cricketer. Virat Kohli comes in as the richest active cricketer at ₹1,050 crore, and MS Dhoni weighs in at almost ₹1,000 crore.
