Indian Cricket Team were awarded INR 125 crores from the BCCI for winning ICC T20 World Cup 2024.

BCCI announced INR 125 crores prize money for the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 winning Indian team. The Rohit Sharma-led Indian team defeated South Africa in the final of the tournament in Bridgetown, Barbados on June 29.

The match was a brilliant one with India batting first and posting 176/7 with Virat Kohli top-scoring with 76 and Axar Patel scoring 41 runs. In reply, Heinrich Klaasen (52), Quinton de Kock (39), and David Miller threatened to take the game away from India. But terrific bowling by Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, and Jasprit Bumrah gave India the win by seven runs.

After the Rohit Sharma-led team won the T20 World Cup, the BCCI awarded Rs 125 crore in prize money for the Indian team. The check for Rs 125 crore was presented to Indian captain Rohit Sharma during the win celebrations at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Thursday (July 4).
