In this article, we will reveal to you the salary and net worth of Ruturaj Gaikwad, the new CSK captain.
While MS Dhoni continues to remain the face, heart, and brains of the Chennai Super Kings, young Ruturaj Gaikwad is gradually being promoted to fill the shoes of Dhoni.
The Pune-born Gaikwad was appointed the new captain of CSK ahead of the IPL 2024 season, with MS Dhoni handing over the duties to the 27-year-old who has also played a couple of dozen matches for India and led India to the Asian Games Gold Medal last year in China.
One of the most stylish and pleasing-on-the-eye batters in the country, Ruturaj Gaikwad has been with CSK since 2019. He made his IPL debut in 2020. He had a tough initiation as he managed scores of 0, 5, and 0 in his first three innings. But Dhoni and CSK backed him and he reeled off three consecutive half-centuries at the end of the season.
He then had a breakthrough IPL 2021 season, when he finished with the Orange Cap and helped CSK win the trophy. Gaikwad played a big role – by scoring 590 runs – in CSK’s title-winning run in IPL 2023.
He made his India debut in 2021, and has played 19 T20Is and 6 ODIs so far. He has hit one T20I century and three half-centuries.

Apart from this, he collects match fees when he plays for India or in domestic cricket, and makes money through brand endorsements as well. His reported annual salary is around INR 8 crores.
Some of the brands that Gaikwad endorses are Games 24X7, GO Kratos, Mount Road Social, SS Cricket Kits, and Social Offline.
