Despite becoming a famous player in this game of cricket, he is not the richest cricketer in the country. The title is in the name of Aryaman Birla, who is carrying forward his family's legacy in both businesses.

Aryaman Birla is the son of Indian industrialist Kumar Mangalam Birla. His wealth is around Rs 70 thousand crores. Aryaman also tried to make his mark in cricket. His cricket career started in the Ranji Trophy for Madhya Pradesh in the 2017–18 season. After that he took his journey further by joining IPL team Rajasthan Royals in 2018.

He scored 4 centuries in the CK Nayudu Trophy and scored 795 runs in six matches at an average of 79.50. Apart from this he scored 414 runs in nine first-class matches, which included one century and one half-century.
Didn't get a chance in IPL

Made his mark in cricket
Aryaman, while speaking to ESPNcricinfo, said that he felt very happy when people started recognizing him for his game rather than his family. Cricket is the best way for them to earn trust and respect. When I started scoring runs, people started looking at me from a different perspective.
Aryaman also told that in cricket he was earlier recognized as 'Birla's son' and 'Birla's grandson', but through his sporting performance he succeeded in changing this perception.
