The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a staggering prize money of ₹131 crore for the Indian cricket team following their historic triumph in the T20 World Cup.
Two days after securing India's third global title in the shortest format, Suryakumar Yadav and his squad were rewarded with an amount that surpasses the ₹125 crore mark set during the 2024 victory.
In a formal media release on Tuesday, the BCCI clarified that this multi-crore reward is not just for the playing XI. The financial incentive will also be distributed among the support staff and the national selectors, recognizing their collective effort in this “historic” campaign. India has now become the first nation to achieve a triple victory in T20 World Cups, a feat hailed by the board as a landmark moment for the sport.
The board extended its heartiest congratulations to the entire contingent, expressing confidence in their continued dominance. As the news of the ₹131 crore jackpot went viral, it once again highlighted the BCCI's position as the financial powerhouse of world cricket and its commitment to rewarding excellence on the field.
