From a modest domestic cricketer to a millionaire, Sharma’s total assets in 2025 are estimated to be over ₹15 crore, combining IPL, endorsements, and match fees.
Jitesh’s IPL salary jumped 5,400% in the 2025 auction—from ₹20 lakh to a jaw-dropping ₹11 crore—making him one of the highest-paid IPL players this season.
As captain, Sharma led RCB to Qualifer-1 after scripting a historic 3rd-highest run chase in IPL history. His 85-run knock vs LSG became one of the top IPL 2025 moments.
Thanks to his IPL contract and domestic cricket earnings, Jitesh Sharma’s annual income now exceeds ₹45 lakh, not counting sponsorships or off-field appearances.
Although left out of the 2025 BCCI central contract list, Sharma’s IPL 2025 performance is likely to earn him a Team India recall and fresh BCCI deal soon.
Born in Amravati, Maharashtra, Sharma’s rise from Vidarbha’s domestic circuit to international stardom shows that talent + perseverance = success in Indian cricket.
With growing popularity and viral Instagram reels, Sharma is becoming one of the most followed cricketers on social media—a key metric for brand endorsements.
Before RCB, Punjab Kings gave Jitesh his IPL breakthrough, where he impressed with middle-order fireworks and game-changing knocks—turning heads across franchises.
As one of India’s rising cricket stars, Sharma is now attracting attention from sponsors. Expect his brand deals and endorsements to boost his net worth even more in 2025.
If Sharma keeps up this form, selectors can't ignore him. He may soon return to the Indian T20I squad, especially with India vs England series on the horizon.
