Anushka Brijmohan Sharma Net Worth 2026: WPL Salary and Earnings

Anushka’s net worth is not publicly verified. Her reported WPL 2026 contract and confirmed Gujarat Giants retention for 2027 are explained separately.

Anushka Brijmohan Sharma’s exact net worth is not publicly disclosed in a reliable financial statement found by CricWin24 as of 21 October 2026. The clearest public money figure is her reported ₹45 lakh Gujarat Giants auction contract for WPL 2026. That is a season-specific contract value, not proof that she owns ₹45 lakh after tax, expenses and other liabilities.

There is also a confirmed update about her next WPL season: the league’s official retention announcement names Anushka Sharma among Gujarat Giants’ retained players for WPL 2027. It does not publish her individual retained fee. This profile covers the cricketer from Madhya Pradesh—not the actress with the same name—and separates what is known about her cricket earnings from what remains private.

Key Takeaways

  • Net worth: Not publicly disclosed or reliably verified in the sources reviewed.
  • WPL 2026 contract: Reported ₹45 lakh Gujarat Giants winning bid at the November 2025 auction.
  • WPL 2027 team status: Officially retained by Gujarat Giants in the 28 September 2026 announcement.
  • WPL 2027 individual salary: Not disclosed in that official retention release; do not automatically carry forward the 2026 amount.

Who is Anushka Brijmohan Sharma?

Anushka Brijmohan Sharma is an Indian women’s cricketer whose domestic background includes Madhya Pradesh Women. Cricinfo’s player profile identifies her as a right-handed batting all-rounder who bowls right-arm offbreak, born on 5 April 2003. She is 23 years old on this article’s research date.

She became more widely known after Gujarat Giants signed her for the 2026 Women’s Premier League. Her full name helps resolve a common search problem: results for “Anushka Sharma net worth” often concern the film actress. The two people’s careers, earnings and assets are unrelated. The actress’s film fees, production business or reported wealth with Virat Kohli cannot be used in a financial profile of this cricketer.

CricWin24’s cricketer earnings profiles follow that identity-first approach. A familiar name or a popular search term is not enough to establish a salary or personal wealth figure.

Anushka Sharma’s WPL 2026 salary: the ₹45 lakh report

₹45 lakh is the reported Gujarat Giants auction purchase price for Anushka’s 2026 WPL season. India Today’s sold-player list, Sportstar’s Gujarat Giants squad coverage and Business Standard’s profile agree on the amount. The auction took place on 27 November 2025, ahead of WPL 2026.

The timing matters. A deal made in November 2025 for the 2026 season should not be labelled a 2025 playing salary simply because that was the auction year. It is also not an IPL contract: she plays in the Women’s Premier League, a separate competition.

CricWin24 could not access an official historical 2026 auction result table during this research. The amount is therefore described as a reported auction contract, corroborated by established publications, rather than an individual official salary disclosure verified here.

Anushka Sharma’s WPL 2026 salary: the ₹45 lakh report
Financial or contract item What can be said as of 21 October 2026
Exact personal net worth Not publicly disclosed in a reliable financial statement found for this profile
WPL 2026 auction purchase Reported ₹45 lakh, for Gujarat Giants
Amount in crore ₹0.45 crore; the same reported contract value, not an additional payment
Money actually received after deductions Not publicly established
WPL 2027 roster status Officially retained by Gujarat Giants
Individual WPL 2027 retained fee Not disclosed in the official retention release reviewed
Verified cumulative career earnings No complete public earnings ledger found

An auction figure shows what was reported for the franchise contract. It does not reveal the payment schedule, tax treatment, professional deductions or the balance remaining after spending. Nor does it establish separate match fees, bonuses or endorsement income. There is no public payroll statement in the reviewed material that lets those components be totalled for Anushka.

For a comparison of how public contracts differ from personal wealth, the Ayush Badoni earnings breakdown explains a longer IPL salary trail. That is a comparison of the method—not a suggestion that IPL and WPL players receive the same fees.

Has Gujarat Giants retained Anushka Sharma for WPL 2027?

Yes. The official WPL announcement dated 28 September 2026 lists Anushka Sharma in Gujarat Giants’ retained squad for WPL 2027. This is stronger evidence of her next-season team status than a prediction, an old player profile or a social-media graphic.

Retention and salary disclosure answer different questions. The announcement establishes that the franchise kept her in its squad. It does not itemise her individual 2027 contract amount. It would therefore be inaccurate to write “Anushka Sharma WPL 2027 salary: ₹45 lakh” solely by repeating the previous auction price.

The same official release scheduled the WPL 2027 player auction for 28 October 2026, which is still upcoming at this article’s 21 October cutoff. Being retained means her team status is already announced; the future auction is not an invitation to invent a new price or a new franchise for her.

Our WPL 2027 auction and squad-gap analysis offers broader team-building context. A team’s available purse and vacant slots should remain separate from an individual player’s salary or net worth.

Cricket career context behind her earning opportunity

Anushka’s WPL introduction explains the attention around her name more usefully than an unsupported wealth estimate. Cricinfo’s report of Gujarat Giants’ opening match against UP Warriorz on 10 January 2026 records her scoring 44 from 30 balls on debut. Batting at No. 3, she shared a 103-run partnership with Ashleigh Gardner.

That performance is a documented cricket event, not a valuation of her commercial worth. It helps readers understand why fans began looking up her background, role and contract. It cannot tell us what she earned from any subsequent advertisement or how much she saved from her franchise fee.

Cricinfo’s WPL 2026 profile records 177 runs in seven matches, with a highest score of 44. Those are season performance figures. They should not be multiplied by an assumed payment per match to create an income estimate, because this profile has not verified an individual WPL match-fee statement for her.

Her domestic pathway and batting-all-rounder role provide sporting context for the franchise opportunity. International appearances also do not, on their own, prove a central-contract grade or a complete national-team payment history. No such private earnings ledger is asserted here.

Domestic income, sponsorships and endorsement earnings

No reliable amount for Anushka’s total domestic cricket income or endorsement earnings was found in the sources used for this profile. Professional cricket can involve several types of compensation, but describing a possible income category is different from proving that a particular payment occurred.

Domestic match payments, retainers, sponsorship fees and commercial appearances would each require their own evidence. A player appearing in a team sponsor’s kit does not automatically mean she has a separate personal endorsement contract with that brand. A social-media presence or a management contact also does not disclose a deal’s financial value.

For the same reason, this article does not assign her a monthly salary. Dividing a season contract by twelve would create a mathematical average, not evidence of how she is paid. Readers comparing profiles should look for a stated competition and season rather than assuming every headline figure is annual take-home income.

The Rajat Patidar salary and earnings profile also distinguishes disclosed or reported cricket contracts from private wealth. Different players have different career histories, so comparisons need the same definitions before they need bigger numbers.

Houses, cars and family wealth: what is actually known?

The reviewed sources do not establish a reliable personal asset list for Anushka Brijmohan Sharma. CricWin24 is not claiming that she owns a particular house, luxury vehicle, investment portfolio or business stake.

This is an absence of verified disclosure, not a claim that she has no assets. It is equally important not to assign family property to her or attach the actress’s lifestyle photographs to the cricketer’s name. An asset would need evidence of both ownership and value before it could support a personal net-worth calculation.

Net worth means the value of what a person owns minus what they owe. Gross sporting contracts alone do not supply that calculation. Even a documented purchase price for a property would not necessarily reveal its current value or any outstanding loan.

Frequently asked questions

What is Anushka Brijmohan Sharma’s net worth in 2026?

Her exact personal net worth is not publicly disclosed in a reliable financial statement found by CricWin24 as of 21 October 2026. There is no defensible rupee or crore range to publish from the reviewed records.

What was Anushka Sharma’s Gujarat Giants salary for WPL 2026?

Established reports list Gujarat Giants’ auction purchase at ₹45 lakh for WPL 2026. It is a reported season contract value, not an audited take-home amount or her net worth.

Is Anushka Sharma retained for WPL 2027?

Yes. The official WPL retention announcement dated 28 September 2026 names her among Gujarat Giants’ retained players. That release does not disclose her individual retained fee.

Is ₹45 lakh also her confirmed WPL 2027 salary?

Not on the evidence reviewed here. The ₹45 lakh report concerns WPL 2026. Her 2027 team retention is official, but the individual 2027 fee has not been established by the official release used for this profile.

Is this Anushka Sharma the actress?

No. This page concerns Anushka Brijmohan Sharma, the Madhya Pradesh and Gujarat Giants cricketer. The actress’s biography, relationship and wealth reports do not apply to her.

The most accurate financial summary

Anushka’s reported ₹45 lakh WPL 2026 contract and official WPL 2027 retention are useful, separate facts. They show a franchise opportunity and next-season roster continuity. They do not provide a complete account of her personal assets, liabilities or career income.

The responsible net-worth answer remains not publicly disclosed or reliably verified. Follow CricWin24’s cricket news coverage for announced developments, and compare player earnings only when the contract, season and source are clear.

Research notes and sources

Public WPL contract reports and official retention announcements are checked separately from personal wealth. A 2026 auction figure is not treated as a disclosed 2027 fee or an audited net-worth amount.
