Virender Sehwag, the former Indian cricketer, who retired from competitive cricket in 2015, is widely recognised as one of the most destructive batters of his era. The 46-year-old still garners great popularity in the cricketing world after switching to commentary and coaching apart from diversifying into various commercial ventures, which have ensured that his net worth is estimated to be INR 350 Crore.
During his international career lasting more than 14 years, beginning in 1999, Virender Sehwag earned a lot of money from his contracts with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The earnings from the Indian Premier League (IPL), both as a player and coach, were quite substantial in propelling his net worth, while his involvement with the National Anti-Doping Agency’s Anti-Doping Appeal Panel can’t be forgotten either.
