On This Day (Mar. 8): Harmanpreet Kaur Birthday Special – A Look at India's First World Cup-Winning Female Captain’s Net Worth

Rose from the bylanes of Moga, Punjab, Harmanpreet Kaur has accumulated a huge amount of wealth from her cricket career

What Kapil Dev is to men’s cricket in India, Harmanpreet Kaur became the equivalent in women’s cricket in India when, last year, she guided the women’s team to their maiden ODI World Cup. Today, i.e., March 8, as we celebrate Harmanpreet’s 37th birthday, let us look at the net worth that she built from her cricket career, coming from the bylanes of Moga, Punjab, with a humble background.

BCCI contract

Harmanpreet Kaur has held a Grade A BCCI contract since 2017 and gets INR 50 lakh every year. Under the equal pay structure, she received INR 15 lakh per Test match, INR 6 lakh per ODI match and INR 3 lakh per T20I game.

Women’s Premier League

The addition of the Women's Premier League has boosted Indian women cricketers’ earnings, including Kaur’s. Harmanpreet has a contract of INR 1.8 crore every year, coupled with a per-match salary of INR 15-20 lakh. In short, her WPL earnings per year are anywhere close to INR three crore.

Cost of her houses

Harmanpreet Kaur has several assets, but not all of them are accessible to the public. The most valuable assets that can be traced are her two houses in Moga and Mumbai. According to several real estate websites, Harmanpreet’s house in Moga is worth INR 1.5-2 crore, whereas her Mumbai house has a price tag of INR 4 crore.

Vehicles in Harman’s garage

It is weird that a star like Harmanpreet has a very limited number of vehicles in her garage, and most aren’t even luxury vehicles – at least not listed anywhere on the web. Reports claim that Kaur was gifted a Datsun Redi-Go sports in 2017, which is worth INR 4 lakh; a Tata Sierra worth INR 12-20 lakh; an open modified jeep in Moga worth INR 5-6 lakh; and a Harley Davidson motorcycle, but the exact model name remains unknown, and therefore, the price tag cannot be ascertained.

Brand endorsements

Given Harmanpreet is one of the most famous faces in India, she endorses several brands such as PUMA, Hapipola, Woloo, CEAT, WTF Sports and so on. Given that contract details are also not publicly available, media estimates suggest that she earns anywhere between INR 70 lakh and INR one crore.

Overall, India’s first World Cup-winning captain has an estimated net worth of INR 30-40 crore. And although she is turning 37, Harmanpreet, with her captaincy, is on fire, aiming for the upcoming T20 World Cup. If she manages to guide another to a trophy, her net worth will witness a massive boost.
