In a major recognition of Team India’s dominant performance in the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a generous cash reward of Rs 58 crore for the entire team. The reward is aimed at acknowledging the efforts of the players, the support staff, and the selection committee following the Indian team’s unbeaten run to their third Champions Trophy title.

The Champions Trophy Triumph

Under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Team India defeated New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy held in Pakistan and the UAE earlier this month. The victory not only secured India’s third Champions Trophy title but also marked a historic achievement, as India remained unbeaten throughout the tournament. This victory was particularly significant as it was India's second ICC title in just nine months, coming after the T20 World Cup triumph in the West Indies and USA last year.

Details of the Cash Reward

As per the BCCI's official announcement, the total prize of Rs 58 crore will be distributed among all the members of the team, including the players, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and the support staff. Each squad member will receive Rs 3 crore, while the rest of the support staff and selection committee personnel will be awarded Rs 50 lakh each. This recognition is a reflection of the hard work and dedication shown by the entire team and their support system behind the scenes.

BCCI President Roger Binny expressed his pride in the team’s 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."

He also pointed out that the victory was India’s second ICC trophy in 2025, following the success in the ICC U19 Women’s World Cup, highlighting the strength of India’s cricketing ecosystem. Binny further praised the efforts, adding, “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.”

India's Journey to the Title

India's Champions Trophy campaign began with a hard-fought victory over Bangladesh, followed by a comfortable win against Pakistan in the high-octane clash. The team’s winning streak continued as they clinched another tough victory over New Zealand in the pool stage. In the semifinal, India overcame Australia before meeting New Zealand again in the final. India’s consistent dominance on the field helped them secure the coveted Champions Trophy for the third time in 12 years.

BCCI's Praise for the Team

Devajit Saikia, the BCCI Honorary Secretary, also praised the team's efforts, stating, “The BCCI is proud to honour 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.”

Significance of the Victory

This Champions Trophy win reaffirms India's standing as a cricketing powerhouse, showcasing the country’s strength in white-ball cricket and the effectiveness of the strategies employed by the team management and coaching staff. The victory also highlights the continued growth of Indian cricket, which has seen remarkable successes over the past few years.

The Road Ahead

With the T20 World Cup and ICC events ahead, Team India is poised for even more success. The BCCI’s generous reward serves as an encouragement for the team to maintain their high level of performance and push for more titles in the future.

The Champions Trophy victory marks another feather in India’s cricketing cap, and with such recognition from the BCCI, the future looks bright for Rohit Sharma and his team as they continue their dominance on the global stage.
