According to sources, it is estimated that the total of Sehwag’s net worth, as of mid-2017, exceeds the sum of $40 million, acquired primarily through his professional cricket career which was active between 1997 and 2015.

Virender is the third of four children of Krishna and Krishan Sehwag, and was raised in an extended family of grain merchants. Virender studied at Arora Vidya School, before he enrolled at and graduated from Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi, India. His interest in cricket dates back to an early age, when his father gave him a cricket bat as a gift.

Virender’s professional debut occurred in 1997 when he became a member of the Delhi cricket team. In the following season, he was selected to represent north India as the part of North Zone cricket team at a first-class cricket tournament – The Duleep Trophy – and was fifth on the overall run-scoring list. Later in 1998-99 season, Virander was selected for India’s national U19 team, with which he toured South Africa. All these ventures provided the basis for Virender Sehwag’s current net worth.

In 1999 Sehwag debuted in One Day Internationals (ODI), and the real breakthrough in his cricket career occurred on 2001, when he was chosen as a regular member of the national team, and immediately after contributed massively in India’s triumph against Australia. Later that year, Sehwag also debuted in Test cricket, and all these achievements helped Virender Sehwag to establish himself as a prominent player in the world of cricket, leading him to earning an impressive amount of wealth.

Managing to keep a continuous streak of above averageperformances, Sehwag became one of the best Indian cricket players as well as the captain of the Delhi Daredevils, helping them to record notable achievements in the Indian Premier League. In 2005, Virender participated in the ICC Super Series, while in 2008 he became the only Indian ever to behonored with the Wisden Leading Cricketer in the World award.

Virender will stay remembered for his rather aggressive and extremely destructive attacking batting style, setting several records in Indian as well as international cricket, earning the nickname of “Zen master of modern cricket”.
