Richest Women Cricketers: When you think of cricket, names like Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma come to mind. These were the names on every fan's lips. But that's old news.

Fans are now eager to learn more about women's cricket and Team India's players. So, let's find out who the highest-earning Indian women cricketers are.

Anyone familiar with women's cricket definitely knows Mithali Raj. She set many amazing records when women's cricket had little support.

This former cricketer from Rajasthan lives a luxurious life with assets comparable to male cricketers. Her net worth is estimated to be between ₹40 to ₹45 crore.

After the recent World Cup victory, Harman's brand value has increased even more, and sports analysts say her income is likely to double.

Team India opener Shafali Verma's career began when she was just 15 years old. She made her international debut in a T20 match against South Africa in 2019. With her amazing performance, she secured her place in the team and shone in the recent Women's World Cup. As a well-recognized cricketer, Shafali's net worth is estimated to be around ₹11 crore.

Deepti Sharma from Uttar Pradesh is an all-rounder for Team India. She is a player who can excel with both bat and ball. She also holds a high-ranking position in the UP Police department under the sports quota. The UP Warriorz pay her ₹2.6 crore in the WPL, and the BCCI gives her ₹50 lakh annually. She also endorses a few brands. In total, she earns up to ₹4 crore a year from all sources. Deepti Sharma's net worth is estimated to be between ₹7 to ₹10 crore.
