Kapil Dev is still considered a colossus in Indian cricket, not only for his achievements but also for the way he changed his country’s sporting ethos. Kapil was the captain of India’s pathbreaking World Cup-winning team in 1983, an inspiration to a generation. Considered as India’s finest fast-bowling all-rounder, he ended his career with 434 Test wickets and more than 5,000 runs. The earnings and reputation of this cricket legend have raised his net worth to place him among the richest cricketers.
Kapil Dev’s BCCI pension
The BCCI grants pensions on a monthly basis to former Test/ODI cricketers and domestic (first-class) players as part of its retirement benefit plan. Former India captain Kapil Dev, who is also a Test cricketer, falls in the highest pension category. When the BCCI revised pension amounts in 2022 Kapil publicly welcomed the move, stating that it would assist the families of many past players. But former India cricketer Kapil was denied some of the BCCI benefits earlier on, such as a one-time cash benefit, because he was involved with the Indian Cricket League (ICL) and did not participate in the amnesty that the board offered to ICL players.
Endorsements
And he’s even transcended the passage of time to arguably become one of Indian sport’s greatest ever icons, long after his playing days were over. He is the face of assorted brands from various categories such as AIPL ABRO, Palmolive, Boost, Shubhashish Homes, Cred, My11Circle, Novo Nordisk India, SRMB Steel, and Disney+ Hotstar. The value of his endorsement deals is anywhere between ₹20–30 lakh a year for each brand.
Also, Kapil Dev’s net worth is boosted by various income sources. His income includes television commentary fees, public appearances, and business ventures like his sports-themed restaurant chain – Kapil Dev’s Eleven. He also has investments in sports lighting, fitness, and hospitality businesses. Apart from that, his hefty payoff from the movie 83 also added to his net worth. Together, sources suggest that Kapil Dev earns approximately ₹12 crore a year at least.
Kapil Dev’s House and Car Collection
The 1983 World Cup-winning captain lives in a palatial bungalow in Sundar Nagar, one of New Delhi’s most posh areas. The property has also played host to Kapil’s ex-players, including a reunion of his 1983 World Cup teammates in 2023. He even has a home in Chandigarh.
