India won by 96 runs in the final of the T20 World Cup played against New Zealand in Ahmedabad on Sunday, after which the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a cash reward of Rs 131 crore for Team India. According to news agency PTI, 15 players, coaching staff and other support staff have been included in this amount.
Six crore more than last time
Compared to last time, BCCI has increased the cash reward by Rs 6 crore this time. Earlier, the Indian men’s team had won the T20 World Cup title in the year 2024. At that time the winning team had received a prize of Rs 125 crore. Not only this, with winning the final match, India won the winning amount of US $ 2.34 million (approximately Rs 21.5 crore) given by the International Cricket Council (ICC), while runner-up New Zealand got US $ 1.17 million (approximately Rs 10.75 crore).
India has won six ICC trophies
Since 2024, India has won six ICC trophies. Apart from the T20 World Cup 2024 and 2026, it includes the 2025 Champions Trophy, Women’s ODI World Cup 2025, Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup 2025 and Men’s Under-19 World Cup 2026. BCCI has opened its treasury by winning all these tournaments. However, there is a lot of difference in the zodiac signs. BCCI had announced a cash reward of Rs 58 crore for Rohit Sharma and his team if they win the 2025 Champions Trophy. At the same time, BCCI had given a prize money of Rs 5 crore to the team for winning the 2025 Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup.
Fans are raising questions
If we talk about Harmanpreet Kaur’s team winning the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, then BCCI had announced a cash reward of Rs 51 crore for this team for winning the World Cup. At the same time, BCCI gave Rs 7.5 crore as reward to Ayush Mhatre’s team, which won the Under-19 World Cup in 2026. However, fans are raising questions on this difference. Fans are asking why the amount received from BCCI by the team that wins the Women’s ODI World Cup is less than that by the team that wins the Champions Trophy? At the same time, fans are also demanding to increase the prize money of the team that wins the Under-19 World Cup. Fans say that the women’s team won the ODI World Cup for the first time, then why did they get such a small amount.
India won the final by 96 runs
India won the T20 World Cup title in the year 2024 under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. This time the command was in the hands of Suryakumar Yadav. India has become the first country to retain the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title. With this, India has become the first country to win the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup three times. In the final match played at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday, India, batting first, scored 255 runs losing 5 wickets. In response, the Kiwi team was reduced to just 159 runs in 19 overs.
