Smriti Mandhana net worth sits around Rs 34-35 crore. This makes her one of India’s richest women cricketers. The Indian vice-captain earns through cricket contracts, brand endorsements and various business ventures. Her wedding to musician Palash Muchhal got postponed after her father suffered a heart attack.
Smriti Mandhana’s Cricket Income and Match Fees
Smriti Mandhana holds a Grade A contract from BCCI paying Rs 50 lakh annually. This central contract puts her among India’s top women cricketers in terms of salary. She gets match fees on top of this base amount for playing international games.
Test matches earn Smriti Rs 15 lakh per game. This is the highest category. ODI matches pay her Rs 6 lakh each, while T20 games give Rs 3 lakh. These match fees add up quickly when she plays regularly throughout the year.
WPL made Smriti Mandhana the most expensive women’s cricket player ever bought. Royal Challengers Bangalore paid Rs 3.4 crore to sign her. She is the captain of the franchise. That single contract alone boosted her worth significantly on one auction day.
Brand Endorsements That Make Smriti Rich
Smriti earns massive money from endorsement deals with international brands worldwide. Hyundai signed her as their brand ambassador by paying big bucks for advertisements. Nike sponsors her cricket gear and clothing adding to her income streams.
Red Bull India uses her image for their energy drink campaigns regularly. UNICEF India appointed Smriti as their goodwill ambassador for social causes too. These brand partnerships together contribute more than half of her total earnings.
Her Instagram following crossed millions which attracts companies wanting youth engagement online. Brands pay premium prices for cricketers who connect with young audiences as Smriti does.
Smriti and Palash’s Combined Net Worth
Palash Muchhal is a successful musician with an estimated net worth between Rs 24-41 crore. His exact earnings aren’t verified publicly but music industry sources estimate these figures. Together, Smriti Mandhana net worth plus Palash’s wealth reach Rs 50-75 crore combined.
Their wedding was scheduled for November 23 but got delayed due to family health. Smriti’s father suffered a heart attack requiring immediate medical attention and rest. The couple postponed celebrations to focus on his recovery and health first.
