Mission #T20WorldCup begins for Team India. The Blues under the leadership of Rohit Sharma is in America, to bring the cup back home. The practice sessions have already begun. After the IPL extravaganza, it is now time to unite once again and fight as one. Their opponents – 19 other nations, including arch-rivals Pakistan, tournament favorites Australia, and of course the defending champions England.
The onus is on Rohit Sharma and company to bring the Cup back home. It’s been 17 long years, and now the patience of the fans is also running out. Team India cricketers have already landed in New York City.

No matter, wherever Team India plays, the fan’s support will be there, both in New York and in the West Indies. The winner of the competition is expected to take home, a big paycheque, with the ICC looking to expand the game around the world.
The tournament also allows the current set of ‘Special 15’ players, to add some big bucks into their already inflated net worth.
What’s the Net Worth of Special 15?
Let’s get straight into this. The combined net worth of all the 15 players is a mammoth US $205.20 million. In case the reserve players are added, then the net worth rises to $214.85 million.
While it may be easy for the fans to decide that Virat Kohli is the frontrunner when it comes to net worth amongst the current crop of cricketers. However, there are a few surprises in store. Take a look at the list below.

In the middle of the IPL 2024, the BCCI announced the list of 15 cricketers for the 2024 T20 World Cup. The team will be led by Rohit Sharma. The Blues have plenty of experience, firepower, and match-winning prowess to win its second T20 World Cup.
