Virat Kohli Vs Shah Rukh Khan: Who earns more from IPL? Answer will SHOCK you, their net worth is Rs...
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 was the most batting-friendly edition of the tournament in history, with records being shattered in several aspects. After 18 seasons of unwavering commitment and countless moments of heartbreak, Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) finally laid their hands on the coveted Indian Premier League (IPL) trophy, defeating Punjab Kings (PBKS) by six runs in a thrilling final. On May 17, the match between Virat Kohli's RCB and Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata Knight Riders was called off due to rain. As a result, KKR was knocked out of the playoffs—meaning this time, it was Virat Kohli's team that dealt the biggest blow to Shah Rukh Khan. Now that we are discussing both Virat Kohli and Shah Rukh Khan's teams, let us have a look at how much the two stars get paid from the IPL. Virat Kohli is the highest-paid cricketer in the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) squad. Back in 2008, he started his IPL journey with a modest salary of just ₹12 lakh. However, between 2022 and 2024, his salary rose to ₹15 crore. According to CNBC, citing business consultancy firm Taxology India, Kohli's salary for the current season has further increased to ₹21 crore. Over the course of his IPL career so far, Virat Kohli has earned a total of ₹179.70 crore. Virat Kohli receives an annual salary of ₹7 crore from the BCCI. In addition, he used to earn ₹15 lakh per Test match, ₹6 lakh for each ODI, and ₹3 lakh for every T20I appearance. However, since he has now retired from both Test and T20 formats, those match earnings no longer apply. According to various media reports, Virat endorses more than 30 brands. One of his most lucrative deals is with MRF Tyres, reportedly worth ₹100 crore. He also earns significantly through endorsements for major brands like Myntra, Pepsi, Nestlé, and Boost. Virat Kohli's current net worth is estimated to be around ₹1,050 crore. A significant portion of this wealth comes from his investments in restaurants and other businesses, but a major share still comes from his earnings through the IPL. How Much Does Shah Rukh Khan Earn from IPL? Shah Rukh Khan's team, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), which won the IPL trophy in 2024, earns him considerably more money annually compared to Virat Kohli. Each IPL team also receives a share of revenue generated from TV broadcasting and sponsorship deals. Besides this, Shah Rukh Khan makes substantial income from franchise fees, event revenues, prize money, brand endorsements, and match fees through his ownership of KKR. Altogether, Shah Rukh Khan's team earns around ₹250-270 crore per year. With Shah Rukh owning 55% of the team, and after deducting roughly ₹100 crore in expenses, his share comes to about ₹70-80 crore annually. The remaining earnings primarily go to Juhi Chawla and her husband Jay Mehta, who are partners with Shah Rukh Khan in the team. Shah Rukh Khan earns a significant income from his own film production company, Red Chillies Entertainment. Besides this, as one of Bollywood's biggest stars, he commands hefty fees for every film, bringing in hundreds of crores annually. On top of that, Shah Rukh also makes a substantial amount through various brand endorsements. Shah Rukh Khan's Net Worth Recently, Esquire released a list of the world's top 10 richest actors, and Shah Rukh Khan features prominently. He ranks fourth on the list, just slightly behind Tom Cruise, who holds the third spot. According to the list, King Khan's net worth is estimated at $876.5 million, which is roughly ₹7,497 crore.

Italy struggles to revive lagging fibre rollout plan
By Elvira Pollina MILAN: A push by Italy's government for state-backed telecoms firms Open Fiber and FiberCop to accelerate work on a European Union-funded network plan has hit a snag as the companies are struggling to agree terms of a potential deal, three sources said. FiberCop and its smaller rival Open Fiber were entrusted with cabling more than 3 million buildings across Italy by the end of June 2026 under a 3.4 billion euro ($3.9 billion)programme aimed at rolling out ultra-fast broadband networks. Only around half of the targeted 3.4 million buildings have been upgraded, latest government data showed, with Open Fiber, which was awarded 2.2 million buildings, lagging behind FiberCop in its work. Italy has said it was considering handing KKR-backed FiberCop some of the work assigned to rival Open Fiber to speed up the rollout as it tries to meet the deadline agreed as part of a COVID-19 recovery plan. FiberCop had said it was ready to take over in full the work assigned to its rival. But government-sponsored talks between the two companies proved difficult, with FiberCop offering to take over the work at cost price by the end of this month, the sources say. Open Fiber is pushing back on such terms, arguing it would be hard to complete a potential spin-off of its areas swiftly and agreeing a fair valuation for them would take some months, the people said. Open Fiber's board of directors will discuss the situation at a board meeting on Tuesday but the chances of an agreement to hand FiberCop some of the areas are seen as low at this stage, the people said. Open Fiber and FiberCop declined to comment. Italy lags European peers in high-speed fixed-line internet coverage, with some 60% of households having access to ultrafast broadband against an EU average of 79%, according to EU data. A senior official from Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's office said it is up to the companies to take the steps needed for an agreement and that time is running short. Open Fiber is 60% owned by state lender CDP with the remainder in the hands of Australian fund Macquarie. FiberCop was spun off last year from former state telco Telecom Italia (TIM) and sold to a KKR-led consortium, including Italy's economy ministry, under a deal worth up to 22 billion euros. Italy's conservative government is also keen to combine Open Fiber assets with those of FiberCop to create a wholesale-only telecommunications network provider under state control.
