Following Rohit Sharma’s side’s victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, the BCCI guaranteed the Indian team, support personnel, and coaching staff a monetary award of INR 125 core.
The Indian cricket team defeated South Africa in the final to cap up their successful T20 World Cup 2024 campaign. The 2013 Champions Trophy victory was the team’s last, and the outcome enabled Rohit Sharma’s team snap an 11-year streak without an ICC championship.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), thrilled with the outcome, declared a substantial award for the Indian team and its support personnel, allocating INR 125 crore for the winning 42-member delegation that traveled to the United States and the West Indies.
However, what is the difference between BCCI’s prize for the T20 World Cup 2024 campaign and the team’s past ICC crowns won under MS Dhoni’s guidance?
Following Team India’s Champions Trophy victory in 2013, the BCCI declared that each player will receive a prize money of Rs 1 crore. The support workers received a salary of Rs 30 lakh apiece that time.
