SRINAGAR: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday announced a cash reward of Rs 131 crore for the Indian team following their third ICC Men’s T20 World Cup triumph.
The amount covers 15 players, coaching staff, and other support personnel, with players set to receive the largest portion, while allocations for support staff will be determined based on hierarchy, sources said. The reward is Rs 6 crore higher than the Rs 125 crore awarded to Rohit Sharma’s team in 2024.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia congratulated the players, support staff, and selectors on the historic achievement and wished them continued success.
India secured the trophy after defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, becoming the first team to successfully defend the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title. The victory also marks India’s third T20 World Cup win, cementing their record as the most successful team in the tournament’s history.
