BCCI Announces Rs 58 Crore Reward For Team India After Champions Trophy Triumph

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has declared a cash prize of Rs 58 crore for Team India following their victory at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

The reward aims to honor the players, coaching staff, support staff, and selection committee members for their contribution to the win.

India secured their third Champions Trophy title with a four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final on 9 March.

This triumph comes just months after their T20 World Cup 2024 win against South Africa in Bridgetown.

BCCI President Roger Binny praised the achievement, stating, “Winning back-to-back ICC titles is special and this reward recognizes Team India’s dedication and excellence on the global stage. The cash award is a recognition of the hard work that everyone puts in behind the scenes. This was also our second ICC Trophy in 2025, following the ICC U19 Women’s World Cup triumph, and it highlights the strong cricketing ecosystem in place in our country.”

The team showcased dominance throughout the tournament, registering four commanding wins.

They began with a six-wicket victory over Bangladesh, followed by another against Pakistan.

A 44-run win over New Zealand ensured smooth progression before they defeated Australia by four wickets in the semifinals.

BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia further emphasized India’s supremacy in white-ball cricket, saying, “The BCCI is proud to honor the players and support staff with this well-deserved reward. Their dominance in world cricket is a result of years of hard work and strategic execution. 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. The dedication and commitment shown by the players have set a new benchmark, and we are confident that Indian cricket will keep raising the bar on the global stage.”

With this victory, India became the first team to claim three Champions Trophy titles in the tournament’s history.

BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla lauded the players, adding, “This cash reward is a tribute to the outstanding performances delivered by the team throughout the tournament. The players exhibited remarkable composure under pressure, and their success is an inspiration to aspiring cricketers across the country. The team has once again proved that Indian cricket is built on a strong foundation of skill, mental toughness, and a winning mentality.”
