This financial recognition will be distributed among players, coaching and support staff, and members of the Men’s Selection Committee as a token of appreciation for their contributions to the team's success, a BCCI statement said.
Under the leadership of Captain Rohit Sharma, India showcased sheer dominance throughout the tournament, securing four commanding victories on their way to the final. They kickstarted their campaign with a six-wicket win over Bangladesh, followed by another six-wicket victory against arch-rivals Pakistan. Maintaining their momentum, the Men in Blue registered a 44-run win against New Zealand before edging past Australia by four wickets in the semi-final.
BCCI President Roger Binny said, “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 Honorary Secretary Devajit Saikia said, “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. 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.”
