Who is India’s Top BGMI Player, Leaving Jonathan in Second Place?

In India’s growing esports scene, Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI) has attracted millions of players and a competitive esports community, with tournaments offering significant prize pools. While Jonathan, often considered a legend in BGMI, has long been a crowd favourite, he currently sits in second place based on prize money winnings from tournaments alone. By eliminating sponsorship, brand deals, and other revenue streams that may otherwise affect the rankings, this rating offers a clear view of the profits made just from tournaments.

Destro has earned an impressive $92,200 through BGMI tournaments, setting him apart as India’s top BGMI player by winnings. His success reflects both skill and consistent performance, especially given the stiff competition in the Indian esports landscape.

Jonathan, also a major figure in BGMI, has earned $83,447 in prize winnings, placing him second. Known for his precise shooting skills and aggressive playstyle, Jonathan’s impact on the game remains undeniable despite his current rank.
