Rishabh Pant net worth

According to Networthopedia, the Rishabh Pant net worth stands at an estimated $3.5 million. This figure is remarkable for a sportsperson aged just 23. One of the reasons for such a high net worth is Pant's hefty paycheques from playing in the IPL, as well as, his lucrative brand endorsements contracts with companies like SG and Adidas Cricket for bat and kit sponsorship.
