Ajinkya Rahane's cricket career has faced inconsistencies, with recent exclusions from the Indian Test team despite strong domestic performances. His net worth has grown significantly over his 15-year career.
Ajinkya Rahane's journey in international cricket has experienced fluctuations. Even after delivering an outstanding performance in the 2023 World Test Championship Final, he has remained absent from the Indian Test team for roughly three years. Recently, after scoring a 159-run innings for Mumbai against Chhattisgarh in the Ranji Trophy, Rahane publicly expressed his frustration toward the BCCI selectors for overlooking him in the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. He voiced concerns over the absence of any explanation for his exclusion and highlighted how his expertise could have been valuable during India's challenging tour of Australia. Despite these setbacks, Rahane’s financial growth over a decade of professional cricket has been noteworthy. Rahane started his IPL journey with the Mumbai Indians in 2008, with an initial contract priced at just INR 12 lakh. His career took a significant turn in 2014 when he joined the Rajasthan Royals, where his IPL earnings rose to INR 7.5 crore annually between 2014 and 2015. From 2016 to 2017, his salary further increased to INR 8 crore and INR 9.5 crore, respectively. In the past two seasons (2024 and 2025), however, his earnings have decreased. Throughout his IPL career, he has accumulated nearly INR 60 crore in total match fees. Over the years, Rahane has partnered with multiple well-known brands. His endorsement portfolio includes Nike, CEAT, Boost, NeoGrowth, Games24x7, ELSA Corp, Hudle, Fanoz, IDFC FIRST Bank, and Oatey. Reports suggest that he charges approximately INR 1 crore for each endorsement deal he undertakes. When comparing brand value, Shubman Gill stands opposite Rishabh Pant. At 37 years old, Rahane added a lavish white Mercedes-Maybach GLS 600 SUV, valued at around INR 3.3 crore, to his vehicle collection. He was photographed receiving the luxury SUV in Mumbai alongside his spouse, Radhika Dhopavkar. The Maybach now complements Rahane’s existing car collection, which features a BMW 6 Series GT (INR 75 lakh), an Audi Q5 (INR 70 lakh), and a Toyota model. Beyond vehicles, Rahane owns a waterfront apartment in Mumbai, estimated to be worth over INR 20 crore. The property showcases Italian marble flooring, a soft cream-colored living area, a dedicated pooja room where he places his favorite bat during Diwali, and a dedicated display wall for his trophies.
