The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a record Rs 131 crore cash reward for Team India following their historic triumph in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. India defeated New Zealand cricket team in the final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, successfully defending the title and becoming the first team to retain the T20 World Cup trophy. With this win, India also became the first team to claim the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup three times, solidifying their status among the most successful sides in the format’s history.
The cash reward surpasses the Rs 125 crore awarded after India’s 2024 T20 World Cup win in Barbados under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy. In addition to the BCCI payout, the International Cricket Council (ICC) also rewarded the team with USD 3 million (approx. Rs 27.48 crore) for winning the tournament, part of a record prize pool of USD 13.5 million, a 20% increase from the previous edition. The players also earned performance-based bonuses of roughly USD 31,154 (INR 28.6 lakh) per win during the group and Super Eight stages.
