The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a substantial cash reward of ₹58 crore for the Indian cricket team following their triumphant campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This reward acknowledges the exceptional performances of the players, as well as the dedication of the coaching staff and members of the Men's Selection Committee.
India's journey to their third Champions Trophy title was marked by an unblemished record, showcasing dominance throughout the tournament. They commenced their campaign with decisive six-wicket victories over Bangladesh and arch-rivals Pakistan. A subsequent 44-run win against New Zealand solidified their position at the top of Group A. In the semi-final, India faced Australia and secured a four-wicket victory, setting the stage for a rematch against New Zealand in the final.
The final, held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, saw New Zealand setting a target of 252 runs. India, under the astute leadership of captain Rohit Sharma, chased down the target with four wickets in hand and an over to spare. Sharma played a pivotal role, top-scoring with 76 runs, exemplifying composure and skill under pressure. BCCI President Roger Binny lauded the team's achievement, stating, "Winning back-to-back ICC titles is special, and this reward recognises Team India's dedication and excellence on the global stage." He further highlighted that this was India's second ICC trophy in 2025, following the ICC U19 Women's World Cup triumph, underscoring the robust cricketing ecosystem in the country. BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that the team's remarkable composure under pressure serves as an inspiration to aspiring cricketers nationwide. He remarked, "The players exhibited remarkable composure under pressure, and their success is an inspiration to aspiring cricketers across the country." Notably, the BCCI's cash reward of ₹58 crore is nearly three times the official prize money awarded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the Champions Trophy, reflecting the board's commitment to recognizing and rewarding excellence.
