In a remarkable news following the recent royal announcement, former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja’s net worth has soared to ₹1,450 crore, positioning him as India’s richest cricketer, surpassing even Virat Kohli. This financial leap came about when the Maharaja Jamsaheb of Nawanagar officially designated Jadeja as the heir to the Jamnagar Royal Throne during the auspicious Dussehra festival on October 12.
The announcement by Maharaja Jamsaheb highlighted the significance of Jadeja’s new role, stating, “The festival of Dussehra marks the day the Pandavas emerged victorious from exile. Today, on Dussehra, I am equally happy, as I have found a resolution to one of my dilemmas thanks to Ajay Jadeja, who has accepted to be my heir.”

Furthermore, Jadeja’s familial ties extend to political roots, as his father, Daulatsinghji, was a former Member of Parliament from Jamnagar.
