The Indian Cricket board, the BCCI, has announced a cash reward of ₹58 crore for the Indian team that won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. India, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, won the Champions Trophy earlier this month after it defeated New Zealand in the final in Dubai. India remained unbeaten all through the campaign.
India thus became the most successful team in the tournament’s history. India had shared the trophy with Sri Lanka in 2002 and then won the title in 2013.
The ₹58 crore prize money will be split between the players, coaching and support staff and members of the men’s selection committee headed by Ajit Agarkar.
“Winning back-to-back ICC titles is special and this reward recognises Team India’s dedication and excellence on the global stage, 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,” said BCCI president Roger Binny in a press release.
Last year the board had announced of ₹125 crore for the team winning the ICC T20 World Cup.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the victory justified India’s top-ranking in white ball formats.
“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,” said Saikia.
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said that Indian players displayed excellent composure under pressure during the ICC marquee event.
“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,” he said.
