Richest Cricketer in WORLD: Cricket is a sport in India in which players receive huge money. The popularity of cricket in India benefits the players of the Indian cricket team as well as the board (BCCI). The likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and MS Dhoni have assets worth millions. There are also some other players who have retired from international cricket many years ago but still earn millions through ads and their businesses. Every year, the list of earnings of cricketers from all over the world is released, in which Indian players dominate. A similar report has come recently, but there is no Indian player at the top in terms of highest earnings but an Australian (Adam Gilchrist).

But it was later discovered that Gilchrist wasn’t the richest cricketer in the world. Gilchrist was mistaken for a businessman with the same name, which led to the error.
The 51-year-old cricketer who goes by the name Adam Gilchrist was falsely identified as the founder of a gym called F45.
In an effort to improve gym participation, businessmen Adam Gilchrist and Rob Deutsch created the fitness company F45 in 2011. Gilchrist, the creator of F45 Fitness, gained notoriety last year when he made an estimated $500 million in an instant.
