Top 5 richest CSK players by net worth

The IPL has truly risen over the past few years as not just the biggest crowdpulling T20 format in the world but a base of cricketing talents who are pure loyalists in that, irrespective of which world cricketer is playing what and where, the moment the frenzied Indian Premier League is on, one will likely drop everything else on the itinerary and commit to playing this particular league! Such is the craze and cult of the IPL. And thus, with great participation from players, whether from the West Indies, South Africa, Australia or New Zealand, the IPL has produced legends in the form of teams that are robust success-producing talent factories.

A success in the IPL likens a cricketer to globally-viable, scalable reputation, and a rising graph that further attracts other lucrative leagues from around the world. But in its own sphere, the IPL has germinated popular franchises or teams that are now powered by wealthy cricketers. Having said that, let us focus on the CSK, an enigma of a team and let us delve into the list of top 5 richest CSK players by net worth.

Here’s a look at the 5 richest Chennai Super Kings players sorted on net worth:

1. MS Dhoni (Net worth - approx INR 1000 Crore)

A legend with no equals, almost no competition in terms of commanding a global fan base and one with no parallels, MS Dhoni is an icon. And that's true not just for Indian cricket, but for his standing among the CSK icons of all time.

Dhoni, who has already hit 5200 plus runs and all while donning the bright yellow jersey, continues to strive for excellence for his CSK outfit.

He has a net worth of reportedly INR 1000 Cr and that's a whopping sign of success, isn't it?

2. Ravichandran Ashwin (Net worth - approx INR 132 Crore)

The majestic off-spinner with few equals and hardly any batter, who is known to have dominated his bowling; R Ashwin stands head and shoulders above so many of his contemporaries as the game's finest off spinner. Perhaps dubbing him as the best off spinner in the post-Muralitharan era may not exactly be an over-estimation of his sublime talent. He is no longer with Indian cricket and back in the day, played a handsome part in helping his CSK team win many a game.

At one time, he was a close part of the think-tank at the CSK, comprising Jadeja and of course, Dhoni.

His current net worth is at INR 132 Cr and it is an established fact that Ashwin's wealth puts him on the list of top 5 richest CSK players by net worth.

Jadeja's graph is constantly rising in world cricket, not just the confines of the IPL. As an exceptional, game changing all rounder, here's a cricketer who is so duty-bound and passionately committed to serving the game with his excellenc, a fine example of which England saw at the Old Trafford, most recently in Manchester.

But when it comes to his Chennai team, Jadeja's already brandished the image of a match-winner, being in midst of several decisive run-chases and moreover, shares an exceptional bond with "Mahi" aka MS Dhoni.

Thus far, he's already amassed a net worth of INR 120 Cr as reported by prominent news platforms.

Graceful and talented, a fine leader besides being a great young talent, Gaikwad's best days, whether as a CSK batter or an Indian cricketer lie in the course of the future.

The icon-with-the-bat or one with the works, is reported to have a net worth of approx INR 36 Cr and is among top 5 richest CSK players by net worth.

5. Shivam Dube (Net worth - approx INR 25 Cr)
