I Investigated EVERY Cricketer Business

Why do some Indian cricketers build business empires while others struggle financially after retirement? From Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni to Sachin Tendulkar, Aakash Chopra and Vinod Kambli, this video explores how cricketers earn, invest and sustain their wealth beyond the pitch. We break down the money behind BCCI contracts, IPL auctions, brand endorsements, commentary, coaching, restaurants, clothing brands and other business ventures. We trace Indian cricket’s financial transformation: from the challenges faced by earlier generations to Jagmohan Dalmiya’s broadcasting revolution and the rise of the IPL. How did cricket become such a powerful business? Why can a commentator earn more than an active player? And why doesn’t sporting greatness guarantee financial security? This is the story of the choices, risks and business opportunities shaping a cricketer’s life long after their final match.
