Deepti Sharma Net Worth 2026: WPL Salary & Earnings

As of 21 October 2026, Deepti Sharma’s total net worth is not publicly disclosed or independently verified. The strongest documented figures are her ₹3.2 crore gross WPL 2026 season fee, agreed when UP Warriorz used their right-to-match option at the 27 November 2025 auction, and the official WPL 2027 retained-player document’s ₹320 lakh (₹3.2 crore) retention-purse deduction. The 2027 deduction is a disclosed purse figure, not proof of an actual payment, audited net worth or take-home salary.

The distinction matters. A player’s net worth would require verified information about income from several seasons, taxes, expenses, investments, property, debts and private commercial agreements. None of those totals is publicly available for Deepti. This profile therefore reports the cricket income that can be supported and leaves the overall wealth figure undisclosed.

Key Takeaways - Deepti Sharma’s net worth has no reliable public total as of 21 October 2026. - UP Warriorz matched a final ₹3.2 crore bid for her WPL 2026 season contract on 27 November 2025. - The official WPL 2027 retained-player document records a ₹320 lakh (₹3.2 crore) retention-purse deduction for Deepti; this is not proof of payment, audited net worth or take-home salary.

Identity, role and current team

The cricketer covered here is Deepti Bhagwan Sharma, the Indian women’s international all-rounder. The ICC identifies her as a left-handed batter and off-break bowler, with an international debut in 2014. Cricket Australia’s player record gives her 24 August 1997 as her birth date and records ODI, T20I and Test debuts in 2014, 2016 and 2021. These records distinguish her from other people named Sharma and from the younger players Nandni Sharma and Niki Prasad who appear in the Delhi Capitals section of the WPL retention list.

Deepti represents Uttar Pradesh in domestic cricket and has been a core player for UP Warriorz in the WPL. Readers comparing women’s cricket earnings can use the CricWin24 net-worth hub for the difference between a reported contract and a personal-wealth claim. The editorial input that she was trending is treated only as the reason for preparing this page; it is not a measured audience statistic or a financial data point.

Documented cricket salary and earnings components

WPL 2026: ₹3.2 crore season fee

The relevant WPL cycle is the 2026 season, which the official league schedule set for 9 January to 5 February 2026. The auction took place in New Delhi on 27 November 2025. The official WPL auction-list announcement placed Deepti in the marquee set, but it did not state her final price.

ESPNcricinfo reported that Deepti initially attracted no bid at her ₹50 lakh base price. Delhi Capitals then raised the price to ₹3.2 crore, after which UP Warriorz exercised its one-time right-to-match option and matched that final amount. The report described the figure as the joint second-highest price in WPL history at the time. BBC Sport separately reported the same ₹3.2 crore return to UP Warriorz, while Forbes India reported that it rose from her ₹2.6 crore price in the inaugural 2023 auction.

That makes ₹3.2 crore the best-supported public gross WPL fee for the 2026 season. It should not be presented as a monthly wage, a net amount after deductions or Deepti’s total career income. The figure also cannot be added mechanically to net worth. For a wider explanation of how retention, purse space and auction prices differ, see CricWin24’s WPL 2027 auction and squad-gap analysis.

WPL 2027: retained with a disclosed purse deduction

The official WPL retention announcement dated 28 September 2026 lists Deepti among UP Warriorz’s retained players for WPL 2027. Its linked retained-player document lists the columns Player / Deduction and records Deepti’s deduction as 320 lakh (₹3.2 crore). The same release says the auction is scheduled for 28 October 2026, while the league’s dates announcement sets the 2027 season for 14 January to 7 February 2027.

This is an official retention-purse deduction, not proof of an actual payment, audited net worth or take-home salary. It also does not prove that the 2026 fee carries forward unchanged or justify automatically summing the 2026 fee and 2027 deduction as personal earnings. The historical ₹3.2 crore auction price remains tagged to WPL 2026, while the ₹3.2 crore deduction is tagged to WPL 2027.

BCCI central contract: grade documented, cash amount treated cautiously

The BCCI’s 9 February 2026 announcement covers the senior women’s annual contract period from 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026. Its published table places Deepti in Grade B. The announcement names the grade and the contract period but does not publish a rupee amount beside each player.

Secondary reports have not been fully consistent about the 2025–26 grade listing. ESPNcricinfo described Deepti as part of Grade A while also reporting the commonly used women’s grade bands of ₹50 lakh, ₹30 lakh and ₹10 lakh. Because the official BCCI table is the primary record and does not state a player-specific cash payment, this profile does not convert the conflicting coverage into a precise current annual salary. Her BCCI grade is a documented income category, but the exact payment should be confirmed from a clearer official contract schedule before being presented as fact.

International match fees, appearance payments and domestic-season earnings may also contribute to a professional cricketer’s gross income. No complete, player-specific public ledger for Deepti was found by the cutoff date. It would be misleading to estimate those amounts from her number of matches or from the WPL fee.

Why her cricket record supports the earnings opportunity

Deepti’s financial profile is tied to a long record as a high-value all-rounder rather than to one isolated auction. The ICC lists her as a current India player, and Cricket Australia’s career summary records 124 ODIs, 160 T20Is and seven Tests on the page retrieved for this research. The same profile says she scored 215 runs and took 22 wickets at the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup, led the tournament’s wicket-taking and claimed five wickets in the final.

The BCCI’s match report from 3 November 2025 confirms her 53 in the final and five-wicket contribution in India’s first Women’s Cricket World Cup title. Forbes India reported that she won the tournament’s Player of the Tournament award after producing more than 200 runs and more than 20 wickets. That performance context helps explain why her next WPL auction price exceeded the ₹2.6 crore amount associated with the inaugural auction, but it does not create a verified wealth total.

Her WPL record also has a documented high point. Forbes India reported that Deepti was named the Most Valuable Player of the second WPL season in 2024 and noted her role in the league’s first Indian hat-trick. Such results can strengthen selection and contract demand. They still do not reveal private savings, investments or commercial income. For broader national-team context, readers can follow CricWin24’s report on Smriti Mandhana’s India white-ball leadership.

Public commercial income: what can and cannot be verified

No reliable public source reviewed for this profile discloses a specific endorsement fee, appearance fee, licensing payment or personal commercial contract for Deepti. Her public profile and recognition after the 2025 World Cup may increase commercial visibility, but visibility is not a rupee figure. Claims about private homes, vehicles, investments, liabilities or tax payments would be speculation and are excluded.

The same standard applies to claims found on generic net-worth pages. A headline number without a named, accountable publication, a dated methodology and primary financial support is not an independently verified estimate. As a result, Deepti’s wealth status remains undisclosed, not a fabricated range. CricWin24’s editorial policy explains why the page separates sourced earnings from unsupported personal-asset claims. A related WPL profile such as Anushka Brijmohan Sharma’s salary and earnings page follows the same distinction between a contract and net worth.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Deepti Sharma’s net worth in 2026?

It is not publicly disclosed or independently verified as of 21 October 2026. A precise figure would require private information that has not been published by a reliable source.

What is Deepti Sharma’s WPL salary?

The best-supported public figure is ₹3.2 crore for her WPL 2026 season contract. ESPNcricinfo and BBC Sport reported that UP Warriorz matched the final auction bid using its right-to-match option. This is a gross season fee, not her net worth or confirmed take-home pay.

Is Deepti Sharma retained for WPL 2027?

Yes. The official WPL retention announcement of 28 September 2026 lists her among UP Warriorz’s retained players. The linked retained-player document records a 320 lakh (₹3.2 crore) retention-purse deduction for her. That disclosed deduction is not proof of an actual payment, audited net worth or take-home salary; the 2027 auction was scheduled for 28 October 2026 after this profile’s cutoff.

What is her BCCI contract salary?

The latest official BCCI announcement covers 1 October 2025 to 30 September 2026 and lists Deepti in Grade B. Because that release does not state a rupee amount and secondary reporting conflicts about the grade, this profile does not assign a definitive current BCCI salary.

Does the ₹3.2 crore auction fee equal Deepti Sharma’s net worth?

No. It is one documented gross league contract for one season. Net worth is a separate balance-sheet concept and cannot be calculated by adding auction fees or by treating gross income as accumulated personal wealth.

Financial summary

Deepti Sharma’s documented league figures are ₹3.2 crore gross for the WPL 2026 season, agreed as the final RTM auction price for UP Warriorz, and ₹320 lakh (₹3.2 crore) as the official WPL 2027 retention-purse deduction. The latter is a disclosed purse deduction, not proof of an actual payment, audited net worth or take-home salary. Her BCCI contract grade is documented for 2025–26, while the official release does not state the cash value. With no reliable, dated publication providing an independently supportable total, her net worth should be recorded as undisclosed, not assigned an invented number.
