Shikhar Dhawan, the southpaw sensation and captain of the Punjab Kings, has carved his name in the annals of IPL history like a cricketer’s trophy shelf. As the third-highest run-scorer in IPL history, Dhawan’s prowess with the bat is the stuff of legend. He even made history by smacking back-to-back centuries in a single IPL season—talk about hitting it out of the park!
But before he became the Punjab Kings' captain, Dhawan was at the helm of the Sunrisers Hyderabad. His career has been a rollercoaster of runs and records, but recently, Dhawan decided to hang up his international and domestic boots, leaving fans and opponents alike in a nostalgic tizzy. So, let’s take a closer look at Dhawan's financial innings, which are just as impressive as his cricket stats.

Even though Dhawan hasn’t been a fixture in the Indian squad recently, his bank balance is far from being a mere footnote. According to the latest figures, Shikhar Dhawan's net worth stands at a whopping USD 15 million, which translates to about INR 125 crores (via Inside Sport). That’s enough to make any cricketer feel like they’ve hit a financial century.
Dhawan’s popularity on the pitch has made him a hot commodity off it. He’s a magnet for endorsement deals, with a portfolio that reads like a who’s who of multinational brands. His sponsors include big names like Jio, Nerolac Paints, GS Caltex, Lays, Oppo, Boat, IMG Reliance, Alcis Sports, and V-Star. It’s no wonder his endorsement roster is longer than a cricket pitch!
When it comes to wheels, Dhawan’s collection is as star-studded as his cricketing resume. He cruises around in a sleek Mercedes GL350 CDI and an Audi. But the real show-stealers are his motorcycles. Dhawan owns a Harley-Davidson Fat Boy, a Suzuki Hayabusa, a Royal Enfield Himalayan, and a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R. Talk about a garage that’s the envy of any biker!
Dhawan’s IPL journey began with the Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals) in 2008. Over the years, he’s seen his price tag soar. In 2018, Sunrisers Hyderabad snagged him for INR 5.20 crore using a right-to-match card. His stock continued to rise, and by 2022, the Punjab Kings splashed INR 8.25 crore to secure his services. Here’s a quick rundown of his auction prices:
Making his IPL debut in 2008 with the Delhi Daredevils, Dhawan quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with. His highest IPL score is a scintillating 106* (not out), achieved against the Punjab Kings on October 20, 2020. That knock was as thrilling as a last-ball six and remains one of his most memorable innings.
