How Much Indian Players, Support Staff Will Get Each Out Of BCCI’s Rs 125 Crore Prize Money?

India defeated South Africa to win the men’s cricket world cup, ending a ten-year tournament winless streak. Even though India has more skill, money, and power than any other country in cricket, this was their first World Cup triumph in more than a decade. The competition was hosted throughout multiple Caribbean islands and the USA. With India winning the last match in Barbados, triumphant celebrations broke out in towns all around the nation at midnight.

With this, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli concluded their careers. Due to this, it becomes an intensely competitive and emotional encounter. In 2007, during Sharma’s early career, India became victorious in the T20 World Cup. Virat Kohli, 35, one of cricket’s most famous players, had also failed to win the prized trophy. India’s coach, Rahul Dravid, has not won a World Cup in his brilliant playing career.

With the announcement of Sharma and Kohli’s retirement from Twenty20 cricket, the evening concluded well for all three guys. After the victory, Dravid, who is usually a calm and collected person, was seen jubilantly celebrating.

Following the victory, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has  declared a sizeable monetary prize for the Indian squad. The team’s exceptional achievement in the international arena is intended to be acknowledged and celebrated with this kind of reward.

The BCCI’s monetary award for the Indian squad is said to include Rs 2.5 Crore for each member of the core coaching group, which includes head coach Rahul Dravid, and Rs 2 Crore for each member of the backroom staff. In the wake of the team’s T20 World Cup victory, Ajit Agarkar’s selection committee members and reserve players would each get one crore rupees.
