Rohit Sharma is not only a successful Indian cricketer but also a global superstar. Known for his remarkable batting skills, his fans fondly call him “The Hitman” for his explosive power-hitting, especially as a top-order batter.

Since making his international debut in 2007, Rohit has amassed 19,398 runs in 491 matches across all three formats, maintaining an impressive average of 42.26. Over his career, he has broken numerous records and, in 2024, led Team India to a T20 World Cup victory as captain.
Rohit is part of the elite Grade A+ category in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) annual player contracts. This earns him ₹7 crores annually, in addition, to match fees of ₹15 lakh per Test match and ₹6 lakh per One-Day International (ODI).
Only three other players—Virat Kohli, Jasprit Bumrah, and Ravindra Jadeja—currently share this contract tier. Beyond cricket, Rohit earns significantly through brand endorsements and business investments, further solidifying his position as one of the highest-earning athletes in India.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) is another major source of income for Rohit. After starting his IPL career with the Deccan Chargers (DC), where he won his first IPL title, Rohit joined the Mumbai Indians (MI) in 2011.
Since then, he has become an integral part of the franchise, leading MI to five IPL titles as captain, making him the joint-most successful skipper in IPL history. In 2024, MI transitioned the captaincy to star Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya, but Rohit still crossed the 400-run mark for the first time since 2019.
Amid rumours of his potential departure ahead of the 2025 IPL mega auction, MI chose to retain Rohit, along with four other players, for a massive ₹16.30 crore. This new contract reflects a 1.875% increase from his previous deal, which earned him ₹16 crore annually between 2022 and 2024.
When combined with his BCCI contract and IPL salary, Rohit's earnings exceed ₹25 crore annually. Adding his match fees and lucrative endorsement deals, he ranks among the wealthiest active athletes globally.
Rohit Sharma’s earnings from BCCI and IPL in 2025:
BCCI: 7 Crore
IPL: 16.30 Crore
Match fee per Test: 45 Lakh
Match fee per ODI: 6 Lakh
