Not Kohli, Dhoni, or Sachin: This Former Cricketer is India's Richest

• Samarjitsinh Gaekwad, a former first-class cricketer, is identified as the wealthiest Indian in cricket, surpassing Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Sachin Tendulkar.
• Gaekwad, born on April 25, 1967, is the heir to the royal family of Baroda and inherited assets worth thousands of crores after his father's death in 2012.
• His inherited wealth includes the Lakshmi Vilas Palace, considered the world's largest private residence, and administration of temple trusts in Gujarat and Varanasi.
• He played six first-class matches for Baroda in the Ranji Trophy and also served as the president of the Baroda Cricket Association.
• While Kohli, Dhoni, and Sachin amassed wealth through their cricketing careers and endorsements, Gaekwad's fortune primarily stems from inheritance.
