The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a cash prize of Rs 58 crore for the entire Indian team, including the players, the support staff and the selection committee for winning the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy in Pakistan and the UAE earlier this month. This was the Indian team’s second ICC title in nine months following the T20 World Cup victory in the West Indies and the USA last year and the BCCI rewarded everyone involved handsomely by dishing out a reward of Rs 125 crore.
The break-up of the reward reportedly will see each of the squad members and the head coach Gautam Gambhir getting Rs 3 crore with the rest of the support staff and the selection committee personnel getting Rs 50 Lakh each.
