The Indian cricket team has been home to some of the best cricketers of all time. Great players like Sachin Tendulkar, Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, and several other greats. Since India is not so developed as England or USA, a majority of the people residing in the country do not enjoy a proper standard of living.
A few families are so poor that it is hard for them to make two ends meet. However, this difficulty has not stopped the kids belonging to poor families to dream big. Very few Indian cricketers have had a rich background, but many Indian cricketers have proved that it does not matter if you hail from a poor family, talent can make you super-rich.
In this article, we will glance at the six Indian cricketers who battled poverty to become super rich.
6.Prithvi Shaw
India’s U-19 World Cup winning captain Prithvi Shaw recently became the second youngest Indian after Sachin Tendulkar to score a hundred in Test cricket. The right-handed batsman has an excellent batting technique.
Shaw is very young but he has overcome many difficult situations. The Mumbai-based player lost his mother at the age of 4 and traveled 70 km everyday with his father just to practice. His father sacrificed everything just to push his son to the top.
5.Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best all-rounders present in the world right now. He recently received an award from Wisden for being the most valuable Indian cricketer. Jadeja has excelled in all three departments of the game.
However, his journey has been very tough. His father worked as a watchman, and he lost his mother in his teenage. Still, Jadeja never gave up and went on to win the ICC U-19 World Cup with Virat Kohli in 2008.
