Ishan Kishan headshot

Ishan Kishan net worth: Ishan Kishan’s net worth is estimated at roughly ₹60–70 crore (about $7–8 million) as of November 2026, based on published 2025–26 estimates. No Forbes, Bloomberg or Hurun figure exists for him, and Celebrity Net Worth has no entry for him — so this range is built from the published estimates that do exist, anchored to his verified IPL salaries and BCCI earnings.

Last updated: November 2026

Who is Ishan Kishan?

Ishan Kishan’s biography runs from Patna school cricket to the fastest double century in ODI history and a starring role in India’s 2026 T20 World Cup win. The left-handed wicketkeeper-batter, born 18 July 1998, plays for Jharkhand domestically and Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL, and fought his way back into the Indian team in 2026 after two years out of contention. His wealth comes almost entirely from cricket: IPL contracts, BCCI match fees and a growing list of endorsement deals.

How the money breaks down

The IPL is by far Kishan’s biggest earner. His annual IPL salaries, consistently reported across cricket outlets, are:

Season Team Annual salary
2016–17 Gujarat Lions ₹35 lakh
2018–21 Mumbai Indians ₹6.20 crore
2022–24 Mumbai Indians ₹15.25 crore
2025–26 Sunrisers Hyderabad ₹11.25 crore

Adding those annual salaries across the seasons in each period gives cumulative IPL earnings of roughly ₹93.75 crore — an arithmetic total from the published annual figures, not a figure any outlet has published as a lump sum. His current deal, ₹11.25 crore a year at Sunrisers Hyderabad, was struck at the IPL 2025 mega auction in November 2024, when he was bought from a base price of ₹2 crore; he was retained at the same price for 2026.

BCCI income is smaller but steady. Standard match fees for India players are ₹15 lakh per Test, ₹6 lakh per ODI and ₹3 lakh per T20I. Kishan’s central-contract history has been turbulent: dropped from the list in early 2024 after he skipped domestic cricket, he regained a Grade C contract (₹1 crore a year retainer) in the 2024–25 list announced on 21 April 2025, but was then left out of the 2025–26 list announced in February 2026 — during the T20 World Cup — because he had not met the minimum international appearances in the evaluation period. As of November 2026 he is not on a BCCI central contract.

Endorsements add a third stream. His named deals include SG as his bat sponsor since around 2019 (he previously used CEAT), Skechers as a brand ambassador in India, and campaigns for Oppo, Manyavar, Noise, Dream11, the Reserve Bank of India and Ai+ Smartphone in 2026. In January 2026 he also launched his own player-management agency. Published estimates of his endorsement income are single-source and unattributed, so no annual figure is stated here. One point of uncertainty: he played IPL 2026 with a blank bat, and reports that his SG deal may have expired are unconfirmed — no official statement exists, so no change of sponsor is claimed here.

How this estimate was made

Net worth is an estimate, not an audited balance sheet. This article’s range of ₹60–70 crore (about $7–8 million) brackets the cluster of published 2025–26 estimates: around ₹60–66 crore in 2025 reports, about ₹63 crore, about ₹68 crore in February 2026 (citing Sportskeeda), ₹65–70 crore, and $8 million (about ₹66 crore) in a November 2026 estimate. No Forbes, Bloomberg or Hurun figure exists, and Celebrity Net Worth has no entry — that is stated plainly rather than filled in with a guess.

Figures excluded from the range: estimates above ₹75 crore (single-source, no methodology), a ₹73 crore figure from a source with an opaque “tracking” methodology, and a stale ₹45 crore figure from 2024. Property and car values reported in the press are not counted as settled facts — valuations of his Patna family home conflict widely, and a reported ₹28–30 crore Mumbai flat is not independently confirmed. For comparison, fellow international wicketkeeper-batter Babar Azam’s net worth is covered on this site.
