New Delhi: The Indian cricket board (BCCI) has awarded its team, which claimed the Champions Trophy 2025 title earlier this month, a $6.72 million, 58 caroor cash bonus on Thursday.
The cash prize is three times the winner’s purse for the 50-overs tournament.
The ICC had handed India $2.24 million for the Champions Trophy 2025 win.
The BCCI, the world’s richest cricket board, announced an additional INR 580 million for the players, support staff and members of the selection committee for their latest success in an International Cricket Council (ICC) tournament.
“Winning back-to-back ICC titles is special and this reward recognises Team India’s dedication and excellence on the global stage,” BCCI president Roger Binny said in a statement.
“The cash award is a recognition of the hard work that everyone puts in behind the scenes,” he added.
Board secretary Devajit Saikia said the players deserved the bonus for India’s recent domination of limited-overs cricket.
“This victory has justified India’s top ranking in white-ball cricket, and we are sure the team will continue to excel in the years to come,” Saikia said.
