Ajinkya Rahane's international cricket career has faced inconsistent selection despite standout performances. His wealth has grown significantly over his career.
Despite his strong performance in the 2023 World Test Championship Final, Ajinkya Rahane has not featured in India’s Test squad for nearly three years. After scoring a massive 159 runs for Mumbai against Chhattisgarh in the Ranji Trophy, he publicly criticized the BCCI selectors for excluding him from the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Rahane voiced frustration over the absence of any official explanation for his omission and emphasized that his wealth of experience could have been crucial during India’s tough tour of Australia. Still, his journey over more than ten years in cricket has led to a steady rise in his total earnings. Rahane made his IPL debut with the Mumbai Indians in 2008, earning only INR 12 lakh. His major breakthrough came with the Rajasthan Royals in 2014, where his annual IPL salary jumped to INR 7.5 crore for the 2014–15 season. Between 2016 and 2017, his earnings rose to INR 8 crore and then INR 9.5 crore respectively. In the last two IPL seasons (2024 and 2025), his price has dropped. Overall, his IPL income has accumulated to nearly INR 60 crore. Ajinkya Rahane has partnered with several high-profile brands over the years. His endorsement portfolio includes Nike, CEAT, Boost, NeoGrowth, Games24x7, ELSA Corp, Hudle, Fanoz, IDFC FIRST Bank, and Oatey. Industry reports suggest that he charges around INR 1 crore for each endorsement deal. When it comes to brand value, Rahane’s profile stands alongside competitors like Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant. In 2026, the 37-year-old cricketer added a sleek white Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV, valued at roughly INR 3.3 crore, to his vehicle collection. The premium SUV was delivered in Mumbai, with his wife, Radhika Dhopavkar, present. This Maybach joins Rahane’s existing fleet, which already includes a BMW 6 Series GT (INR 75 lakh), an Audi Q5 (INR 70 lakh), and a Toyota model. Apart from vehicles, Rahane owns a lavish sea-facing home in Mumbai, reportedly worth over INR 20 crore. The residence boasts Italian marble floors, a soft cream-toned living area, a dedicated pooja space where he places his favorite bat during Diwali, and a dedicated wall showcasing his trophies.
