The three most renowned figures in Indian cricket when it comes to riches are Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Sachin Tendulkar. Tendulkar, whose remarkable career and enormous endorsements are estimated to be worth $170 million, is regarded as the most important cricket player. Kohli, who has an estimated net worth of $92 million, and former captain MS Dhoni, who has a net worth of $111 million, are next in line. One player, who is only 22 years old, however, is richer than these cricket players, who have managed to rank among the wealthiest athletes.

Aryaman Birla, the son of tycoon entrepreneur Kumar Mangalam Birla, is still considered the richest cricketer in the world, with an estimated net worth of ₹70,000 crores, or around US$8.5 billion. Aryaman's riches is mostly generated from his family's enormous business empire, the Aditya Birla Group, in contrast to Sachin Tendulkar, Dhoni, and Kohli, whose fortunes are largely obtained from their ten-plus-year cricket careers and sponsorship deals.

He is also a director on the boards of Grasim Industries and Aditya Birla Management Corporation, and he is considered by many to be the company's future. Prior to entering the business world, Aryaman played cricket and even achieved a first-class century. Born in Mumbai in July 1997, Aryaman later relocated to Rewa, Madhya Pradesh, home of the Aditya Birla Group's cement unit headquarters. He had taken the initiative, nevertheless, to compete in the state's junior circuit and finally advance.

He made his debut for Madhya Pradesh against Odisha

In November 2017, he played his maiden senior-level game for Madhya Pradesh against Odisha in the Ranji Trophy. In his debut innings, Aryaman and Rajat Patidar shared a 72-run opening partnership, with Patidar scoring 123. But in that game, he himself scored six off 27 and 16 off 67 balls.

However, he left his mark against Bengal in the Eden Gardens nearly exactly a year later. Bengal declared at 510/9 with to an undefeated double century from Manoj Tiwary. After MP was all out for 335 and Birla ground his way to an undefeated 103 from 189 balls to force a draw, the hosts imposed a follow-on.
