Hardik Pandya Leads Indian Contingent as IPL Stars Dominate T20 World Cup Wealth Rankings
The financial dominance of the Indian Premier League (IPL) was clearly reflected in the recently published list of the top 10 richest players featuring in the T20 World Cup 2026. While Australia's Glenn Maxwell topped the list, Indian stars who command massive IPL contracts occupied four of the top six positions.
Hardik Pandya, the highest-ranked Indian player, secured the second spot overall with an estimated net worth of USD 11.00 million. His significant earnings are attributed not only to his central contract but also to his lucrative IPL leadership roles, brand endorsements, and extensive media presence. Jasprit Bumrah (USD 9.00 million) and Jos Buttler (USD 10.00 million, representing Gujarat Titans) also featured prominently, underscoring the immense financial value generated by the world's elite T20 cricketers through the IPL ecosystem.
