He is the greatest Batsman ever Produced by India. The only player in the world has scored 100 International Centuries. His One Day International Career has 49 Centuries and in Tests, he has 51 Centuries. Sachin Tendulkar held virtually batting record in cricket.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni
At the Number 2 Spot, we have the greatest captain of India has ever produced. Maybe, the Sourav Ganguly fans might disagree but Mahendra Singh Dhoni has changed the face of Indian Cricket in no mean manner. He is one of the coolest players in the Indian team. However, behind the cool and emotionless face, is a fantastic brain ticking over to surprise and overthrow the opponent. He has an excellent record as captain of India. he is the only Indian Captain to have won the World Cup in both the One Day and T20 Format. He has also led India to the top of the Test Team Rankings as well. In addition, he has won 3 Indian Premier League Tournaments for his Franchise Chennai Super Kings.

He is the reason why players from the smallest towns have started to believe that they can make it big in Indian Cricket. Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s net worth of $129 Million makes him rank at Number 2.
Virat Kohli
At Number 3 Spot we have the present captain if the Indian Cricket team, Virat Kohli. At present, he is the highest earning member of the Indian Cricket team. It will just be a matter of time before he overtakes the two people above him in the list. No one can question their greatness but Virat Kohli is destined for greater things. Maybe, one day he will go on to break Sachin Tendulkar’s 49 International one-day Centuries. Today, Virat Kohli is in the form of is life. He is the captain of the Indian team in all the three formats today. He has had a very successful stinct with the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the Indian Premier League as well. Today he has a worth of $83 million making him rank No. 3 in this list. However, if we were to compile the same list in say 2020, he would easily be in the top position. We do not mean any disrespect to the top two players in this list. They are great icons but records are always meant to be broken.
Saurav Ganguly
Sourav Ganguly might be the most attacking captain produced by India. he was the one who instilled the belief in the Indian team that they have the capability to beat the best in the world in their backyard. Sourav Ganguly is the true Maharaja of Indian Cricket. He has the natural grace of the left hander. In his prime, he was a more than useful medium pace bowler as well. Making his Test debut alongside Rahul Dravid in England, Sourav Ganguly has a very long innings as a player and then as a captain. Talentwise, he was as good as the other champions in the Indian team. As a Captain, he was way ahead og the rest. One of the most elegant players ever to have played for India, Sorav Ganguly has a net worth of %56 million from cricketing activities alone.
Virendra Sehwag
At Number 5 we have Virendra Sehwag, the most attacking opening batsman ever to have played the game of cricket. He can be so menacing that opponent bowlers would quiver in their pants while bowling to him. All good players can hit the bad balls for fours and sixes. Sehwag was one player who could hit any ball for Fours and Sixes. The only Indian player to have scored two triple centuries in Test Cricket, Virendra Sehwag formed an excellent opening pair with the greatest batsman produced by India, Sachin Tendulkar. People used to say that Sehwag is one player who plays Test Matches as if they were One-Day Internationals. At the same time, he used to play one-day internationals as if he is playing the super over. This dominance of the bowling made him amass a fortune of $40 million makings
Yusuf Pathan
The name at Number 6 can surprise many people . Not many would have expected Yusuf Pathan to find a place in this list of great Indian Players. He is the only player in this list not to have played a single Test match for India. He has not played much of one day internationals and T-20s for India as well. However, his IPL price tag can envy a lot of people. Capable of turning any T20 match within a few minutes, Yusuf Pathan has a net worth of $27 million him rank at Number 6 in this list. This should be the apt number for him because of his ability to hit 6s.
Rahul Dravid
Rahul Dravid is the most compact and technical player produced by India after the greatest of them all, Sunil Gavaskar. If there is any person in this list who you have to depend on to bat to save your life, it has to be the great Rahul Dravid. He is an absolute team man to score. When the team balance was in disarray and did not have a regular wicket-keeper, Rahul Dravid volunteered to do the job. Only a wicket-keeper knows how much pounding the hands take while keeping to fast bowlers. In addition, Rahul Dravid had the extra responsibility to contribute with the bat as well. He has done admirably having scored more than 10000 runs in both Test Matches and One-Day Internationals. Sachin Tendulkar is the only other Indian Player who has done so. WIth a net worth of $23 million, Rahul Dravid lends stability to the middle.
Yuvraj Singh
Here is a man who has hit six sixes in an International Match. Herschelle Gibbs is the only other player to do so. Gibbs had hit an unknown Netherlands spinner for six sixes in an over in there 2007 World Cup. However, Yuvraj Singh belted a front line fast bowler from England, Stuart Broad all over the park in the 2007 inaugural T-20 world cup Tournament. That feat alone fetched him a huge amount of prize money. That must have been the highest amount any cricket player has earned in the shortest span of around six minutes. Nevertheless, Yuvraj Singh is a great talent and one of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball ever. He is a courageous man because he has overcome cancer and regained his place in the Indian side on Pure merit. With a total net worth of $22 million, he is at NUmber 8
Gautam Gambhir
Gautam Gambhir used to open the batting for India. He has the practice of coming in at No. 3 as well. However, he comes in at No. 9 in this list. One of the most accomplished left handed batsmen India has ever produced. Gautam Gambhir is a fearless cricketer. He is never afraid to take the bull by its horns in any form of cricket.
