The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on Thursday, March 20, announced a financial incentive of INR 58 crore for Team India following their victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This financial award recognizes the players, coaching and support staff, and members of the Men's Selection Committee.

Under the captain of Rohit Sharma, India won the tournament, going undefeated throughout. They defeated Bangladesh, New Zealand, and Pakistan in the group stage while beating Australia in the semi-final. India then again defeated New Zealand in the final of CT 2025 to become three-time champions.

“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. 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,” BCCI president Roger Binny said.

“The BCCI is proud to honor 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. The dedication and commitment shown by the players have set a new benchmark, and we are confident that Indian cricket will keep raising the bar on the global stage,” BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia stated.

“This cash reward is a tribute to the outstanding performances delivered by the team throughout the tournament. 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,” BCCI vice-president Rajiv Shukla said.
