The Board of Control for Cricket in India on Thursday announced a cash reward of Rs 58 crore for Team India following their triumph at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
“This financial recognition honours the players, coaching and support staff and members of the Men’s Selection Committee,” the BCCI declared.
Under Rohit Sharma’s leadership, India dominated the tournament with four convincing wins. It defeated Bangladesh and Pakistan by six wickets each, secured a 44-run victory over New Zealand, and overcame Australia by four wickets in the semifinal before winning the final against New Zealand.
India has won 23 of its last 24 completed matches in ICC men’s limited-overs tournaments. Its only defeat came in the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia, snapping a 10-match winning streak in that tournament.
Since then India has completed unbeaten campaigns at the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. Rohit Sharma, who has guided India to consecutive ICC titles, holds an outstanding record of 27 wins and just three losses in ICC limited-overs tournaments.
BCCI president Roger Binny hailed the back-to-back ICC titles, including the ICC Under-19 Women’s World Cup, as proof of India’s strong cricketing ecosystem.
Board secretary Devajit Saikia praised the team’s dominance, stating that its top ranking in white-ball cricket is well-earned.
