New Delhi: The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) handed over his team to his team, which earlier this month claimed the Champions Trophy title, a cash bonus of $ 7.72 million on Thursday, which is three times higher than the purse of the 50 -overs tournament winner.
After the World Cup victory last year, Rohit Sharma and his men defeated New Zealand by four wickets in the final of March 9 in Dubai. The team took home $ 2.24 million home to win the Champions Trophy.
BCCI, the world’s richest cricket board, announced an additional Rs 580 million for players, auxiliary staff and selection committee members for their latest success in the International Cricket Council (ICC) tournament.
BCCI President Roger Bani said in a statement, “Back toback is special to win the ICC title and the award team recognizes India’s global dedication and virtue.”
“The cash award is the recognition of the hard work that puts it behind each screen.”
Board secretary Deojit Sikia said the players deserve a bonus for India’s recent limited overs cricket.
“This victory has justified India’s highest ranking in Whiteball cricket, and we are confident that the team will perform well in the coming years,” said Psychia.
