New Delhi, March 10 – The BCCI announced a cash reward of ₹131 crore for the entire Indian squad following its third T20 World Cup victory on Tuesday.
The amount covers 15 players, coaching staff, and other support staff.
According to sources, the players are certain to receive a significant portion of the reward money, while the amount for the support staff will be determined based on their hierarchy.
The amount is an increase of ₹6 crore from the ₹125 crore that Rohit Sharma's team was awarded in 2024.
"The Board congratulates the players, support staff, and selectors once again on this historic achievement and wishes them continued success in the future," BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said in a statement.
India lifted the prestigious trophy after defeating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, successfully defending the title and becoming the first team in the history of the tournament to retain the ICC Men's T20 World Cup.
With this victory, India also became the first team to win the ICC Men's T20 World Cup three times, further solidifying its place among the most successful teams in the history of the format.
