Born on 4th October 1999, Harvik Desai of Bhavnagar in the state of Gujarat is another emerging name in Indian cricket. He is a wicket-keeping-batsman and is known for his great performance with the Saurashtra cricket team, which makes him a known face both in the domestic and IPL schemes. His rise has been marked by consistent performances in limited-overs formats, much to the interest of his state team.
His cricket journey began early, and in 2017, Harvik represented India in the Under-19 World Cup, where he played a pivotal role in the final. Desai’s first-class debut came in 2018, and he quickly made an impression by scoring a century in the 2018-19 Ranji Trophy quarter-final. Over the years, he has accumulated over 900 runs in first-class cricket, with a century and several half-centuries to his name. His List A and T20 cricketing performances, however, are still in their infancy, but are not negligible. And he has a pretty good T20 strike rate of 134.17.
Harvik made his IPL debut with Mumbai Indians at the end of 2024 as a replacement for injured wicketkeeper-batsman Vishnu Vinod. His dynamic batting style combined with his skill as a wicketkeeper makes him a promising prospect for the future of the franchise. His prospects seem promising in IPL 2025 as he continues to develop under the guidance of experienced players and coaches in the setup of Mumbai.
But Harvik’s net worth is not particularly known, though being a young player with great prospects, his earning is quite mainly from domestic cricket and his IPL contract and endorsement. With his growing profile, especially by the advent of IPL 2025, his personal fortune will also be mostly seen to increase. With such a bright future in both domestic as well as international cricket, Harvik Desai’s journey will be one to closely watch.
