Many fans are curious to know if Virat Kohli is the richest cricketer in the world. According to a recent list of the world's richest cricketers published by CEOWORLD Magazine, Kohli is not the richest cricketer in the world.
Judging by estimated net worth, Sachin Tendulkar stands first on the list with $170 million, followed by former Indian captain MS Dhoni, who has an estimated net worth of $115 million. Virat Kohli stands third, behind Dhoni with a net worth of $112 million.

While Kohli may not be the richest cricketer of all time, he has the highest net worth among players who are currently active in the international arena. As mentioned above, Kohli has a net worth of $112 million, which approximately equals to ₹927.236 crore.
