Ravichandran Ashwin, one of India’s greatest off-spin bowlers, recently retired from international cricket, surprising fans and the cricketing world. With 537 wickets in 106 matches, he retires as India’s second-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket, only behind Anil Kumble. Despite stepping away from Tests, Ashwin will continue playing franchise cricket and is set to feature in IPL 2025.
Ashwin’s estimated net worth is around ₹117 crore, bolstered by his cricket earnings, brand endorsements, and smart investments. His luxurious lifestyle includes a ₹9 crore home in Chennai, designed to reflect his achievements. Additionally, Ashwin has made significant real estate investments, with property holdings worth approximately ₹26 crore, both in India and abroad.
A lover of luxury vehicles, Ashwin’s garage boasts high-end cars like a Rolls-Royce worth ₹6 crore, an Audi Q7, and another luxury vehicle valued at ₹93 lakh. His taste for sophistication is evident in his lifestyle and assets.
Ashwin’s income extends beyond cricket. A Grade A BCCI contract earns him ₹5 crore annually, with match fees of ₹15 lakh per Test, ₹6 lakh per ODI, and ₹3 lakh per T20I. Over his IPL career, he has earned ₹97.5 crore, including ₹9.75 crore from the IPL 2025 mega auction, where he was signed by Chennai Super Kings.
Brand endorsements form another significant income source. With over 5 million Instagram followers, Ashwin charges ₹4.5-5 crore per endorsement and has partnered with top brands like Zoomcar, Myntra, and Oppo. Diversifying further, Ashwin owns a media company, Carrom Balls, specialising in influencer marketing. Nicknamed the “King of the Carrom Ball,” Ashwin has successfully blended cricketing excellence with strategic ventures, cementing his legacy on and off the field.
