World's richest cricketer Aryaman Birla retires at 22 without playing IPL

Aryaman Birla, the world's richest cricketer, retired at 22 without playing in the Indian Premier League. He is the son of billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla and has an estimated net worth of INR 70,000 crore, surpassing cricket legends Sachin Tendulkar, MS Dhoni, and Virat Kohli. Birla began his cricket career in the Ranji Trophy and had notable performances, including a century. He was signed by the Rajasthan Royals in 2018 but did not play in the first team due to injuries and was released in 2019. In December 2019, Birla announced an indefinite break from cricket to focus on his mental health. He has since taken on significant roles in the Aditya Birla Group, where he is seen as a key figure in the family's business.
