Rohit Sharma is captain of the Indian cricket team and a key figure in their recent T20 World Cup victory. With a net worth of Rs 214 crore, Sharma’s income sources extend far beyond his cricketing career, highlighting his influence both on and off the field.
India clinched the T20 World Cup 2024, adding another prestigious ICC trophy to their cabinet. The victory earned the team a prize money of Rs. 20.42 crore and an additional Rs 125 crore from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) for their stellar performance.
Rohit Sharma’s annual salary as part of the BCCI’s Grade A+ contract is Rs 7 crore. This elite contract is shared with other top Indian cricketers like Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, and Jasprit Bumrah.
In addition to his annual salary, Rohit Sharma match fee is Rs 15 lakh per Test match, Rs 6 lakh per ODI, and Rs 3 lakh per T20 international. Earlier this year, Jay Shah, BCCI Secretary, announced a new ‘Test Cricket Incentive Scheme’ that allows senior players like Sharma to earn an additional Rs 3.15 crore, provided they play at least seven Test matches in a year.
Rohit Sharma enjoys a luxurious lifestyle befitting his stature. He resides in a lavish 4-BHK apartment in a premium residential tower in South Mumbai, valued at approximately Rs 30 crore. His impressive car collection includes a Lamborghini Urus (worth over Rs 3 crore), a BMW M5 (around Rs 1.8 crore), a Mercedes-Benz S-Class (costing Rs 1.77 crore), and a Mercedes-Benz GLS (valued at Rs 1.32 crore).
Apart from cricket, Sharma has invested in various start-ups and engages in numerous brand endorsement deals. He is also the founder of CricKingdom, a global cricket academy aimed at nurturing young talent.
