Noor Ahmad is an Afghan professional cricketer who currently plays for the Indian Premier League side Chennai Super Kings. The rising star has already started making a name for himself in top-level cricket at a very young age. He is just 20 years old as of now but has already represented some very big franchises on the biggest stage and has also played in One Day Internationals (ODIs) and Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) for the Afghanistan cricket team. This article talks about Noor Ahmad’s net worth and the salary he earns while playing for the Chennai Super Kings.
Noor Ahmad’s cricket journey began in Afghanistan, a country where cricket has rapidly grown in popularity over the past decade. Born in Kandahar in 2005, Noor was inspired by senior Afghan players like Rashid Khan. He began working hard on his bowling from a young age and quickly made his way through local and age-group cricket circuits. His natural ability to spin the ball and deceive batsmen with subtle variations made him stand out from the rest.
The Afghan bowler has played for a plethora of domestic teams already, despite his career having kicked off only recently. The first domestic team he played for was the Kabul region (Kabul Eagles), one of eight T20 franchise cricket teams in Afghanistan, in 2019. Ahmad has also played for Mis Ainak Knights, Melbourne Renegades, Karachi Kings, Galle Gladiators, Quetta Gladiators, Welsh Fire, and Durban’s Super Giants in his domestic career.

Several teams tried to get their hands on the talented player, but it was the Chennai Super Kings who ended up securing the player with a winning bid of ₹10 Crore.
