5 Cricketers with the most expensive houses

Cricket superstars don’t just make money on the pitch, but many invest in sprawling homes that rival luxury estates anywhere in the world. From sprawling farmhouses to millionaire-dollar mansions, here are five cricketers whose residences are among the most expensive in the sport.

1. MS Dhoni - ₹100 Crore Ranchi Farmhouse

Mahendra Singh Dhoni tops the list with perhaps the most talked-about cricketer property in India. His magnificent farmhouse near Ranchi, often referred to as “Kailashpati,” sprawls across several acres and includes a swimming pool, gym, indoor games area and space for his extensive collection of bikes and cars. 

This multi-crore property reflects Dhoni’s success on the field and his enduring popularity off it. The farmhouse’s estimated value is around ₹100 crore, making it one of the costliest cricketer homes in India. Dhoni’s evolution from a small-town youth to one of cricket’s richest captains is mirrored in this estate, which is a peaceful yet lavish retreat where the legendary wicket-keeper batter can enjoy life away from packed stadiums and media scrutiny.

2. Virat Kohli - ₹80 Crore Gurgaon Bungalow

Former India captain Virat Kohli and his family own an ultra-modern bungalow in Gurgaon’s DLF Phase-1, estimated at around ₹80 crore. Spread over a large plot with contemporary architecture, expansive glass facades, a private pool and luxury finishes throughout, it showcases modern design and elite residential standards.

Kohli also owns multiple properties in Mumbai and Alibaug, but the Gurgaon home stands out as one of the most expensive single residences attributed to a cricketer in India. Its location in a premier real estate belt and top-tier amenities speak to Kohli’s taste beyond cricket.

3. Ricky Ponting - ₹69.8 Crore Melbourne Mansion

Moving beyond India, Australian legend Ricky Ponting’s Brighton mansion in Melbourne is reported to be worth roughly ₹69.8 crore (about $10 million), according to multiple real estate profiles.

Ponting’s residence, long a landmark property, includes standout features such as a private tennis court, theatre, swimming pool and full-sized grounds, with easy access to scenic beaches. Though Ponting has listed and partly transitioned properties in recent years, this Brighton estate remains one of the most lavish homes associated with a cricketer globally.

4. Yuvraj Singh - ₹64 Crore Worli Apartment

Yuvraj Singh’s luxury apartment on the 29th floor of Omkar 1973 Towers in Mumbai’s Worli area is widely reported to be worth ₹64 crore. Yuvi bought the entire 29th floor, which comprised 2 flats with high-end facilities.

This sprawling sea-view home covers about 16,000 square feet and was created by merging multiple flats to produce a high-end residence with sprawling balconies, premium finishes and panoramic views of the Arabian Sea. Yuvraj, a key figure in India’s 2007 and 2011 World Cup wins, has invested his earnings into one of the most luxurious urban properties among cricketers.

5. Shane Watson - ₹62.8 Crore Sydney Residence

Yet another Aussie legend who bid adieu to International cricket-Shane Watson, has also invested a huge share of his income in his luxury home in Sydney. The former Australian all-rounder also makes the list with his expansive home in Sydney, valued at roughly $9 million (around ₹62.8 crore).

Situated in a premium Sydney neighbourhood not far from iconic Bondi Beach, Watson’s property boasts luxury living spaces, a swimming pool and stylish interior design. Its value reflects both Australia’s strong property market and the earnings Watson accumulated through international cricket and franchise leagues like the IPL.
