Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain, Rajat Patidar got married to Gunjan Patidar in July 2022. The couple welcomed a baby in March 2026.
Royal Challengers Bengaluru is set to face Delhi Capitals in another high-stakes clash of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. After a series of impressive knocks, RCB captain Rajat Patidar has grabbed the attention for all the right reasons. He is not only leading the team from the front in this season, but also building a strong personal and financial life outside the field. Whether it is about his match-winning performance against the Mumbai Indians or demands for his inclusion in the national side, Rajat is making headlines. But his wife, Gunjan, maintains a low profile. So, before Rajat's upcoming match, let's take a look at the couple's net worth, assets and earnings.
Rajat Patidar has an estimated net worth of INR 25-30 crore in 2026. The majority of his net worth is driven by his success in the IPL and increasing fame in Indian cricket. According to reports, a major increase in his earnings followed RCB's retention of him for INR 11 crore ahead of the 2025 season, up from his earlier base price of INR 20 lakhs. Interestingly, it is a sharp increase from his earlier base price. At the same time, Rajat Patidar earns a substantial income from domestic cricket contracts and brand endorsements with sports and lifestyle brands. All these earnings have strengthened his portfolio.
Although there is no publicly available data on Gunjan Patidar's individual net worth, she shares in Rajat's growth wealth, and the couple leads a comfortable lifestyle. The couple reportedly live in a premium bungalow in Indore's Vijay Nagar area, valued at around INR 6.5 crore. Despite the financial success, Gunjan chooses to stay away from the spotlight. She is rarely seen in public or on social media.
Like their lifestyle,, Rajat Patidar and Gunjan had a largely private life story. When Rajat went unsold in the 2022 IPL Auction, his family scheduled his wedding with Gunjan. But fate had other plans, as he was called in at the last minuteat the last minute as an injury replacement. So, the cricketer decided to postpone his wedding and joined the team. It proved to be a life-changing decision for him, as he went on to deliver a historic century in the Eliminator match against Lucknow Supergiants. At the same time, it strengthened his position going forward. After the IPL season ended, the couple married in July 2022. Again, they entered a new phase of their life after welcoming their first child in 2026.
Rajat Patidar's impact on the field in IPL 2026 has been short of impressive. After leading the team to their first title win in 18 years in 2025, he is leading the team from the front in 2026, becoming one of the contenders for the orange cap. He has displayed aggressive batting, a high strike rate, and consistent performances, making him one of the most dangerous middle-order batsmen in the league. Whether it is his half-centuries or finishing matches under pressure, Rajat's intent is clearly winning praise from all sides.
