New Delhi: Indian cricket’s rising star and Test-ODI captain Shubman Gill is celebrating his 27th birthday on Tuesday. The Punjab-born batter, who emerged as one of India’s biggest cricketing talents, has built a remarkable career since his breakthrough performance in the 2018 U-19 World Cup.
Gill was named Player of the Tournament after scoring 372 runs in India’s title-winning campaign. Since then, he has become a key figure in Indian cricket and now leads the national Test and ODI teams.
Shubman Gill’s estimated net worth is reportedly over Rs 30 crore, with his income coming from cricket contracts, IPL earnings and brand endorsements.
The batter holds a Grade A BCCI central contract, earning around Rs 5 crore annually as a retainer fee. As captain of Gujarat Titans, Gill received an IPL salary of around Rs 16.50 crore for the 2026 season.
Apart from cricket earnings, Gill is associated with several major brands including Puma, CEAT, boAt, Gillette, MRF Tyres and My11Circle.
Gill’s growing success has also reflected in his lifestyle. Reports suggest that he owns a luxury villa worth around Rs 3.2 crore and has invested in a premium Mumbai apartment reportedly valued at nearly Rs 20 crore.
His car collection includes luxury vehicles like Range Rover Velar, Mercedes-Benz GLE and a customised Mahindra Thar.
Gill has already achieved several milestones at a young age. In 2023, he became the youngest player to score a men’s ODI double century after smashing 208 against New Zealand.
During India’s 2025 England tour, Gill produced a historic performance, scoring 269 and 161 in the same Test match. He finished the series with 754 runs and was named Player of the Series.
In IPL 2023, Gill scored 890 runs for Gujarat Titans, winning the Orange Cap and establishing himself among the league’s top performers.
