The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a cash reward of INR 131 crore for India's T20 World Cup-winning team. This is a significant increase from the INR 125 crore reward given to the team after their 2024 T20 World Cup win. The team, led by Suryakumar Yadav, defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final, becoming the first team to retain the ICC Men's T20 World Cup title and winning it for the third time. India won the T20 World Cup for a record third time. West Indies (2012 and 2016) and England (2010 and 2022) have won the title twice apiece. India are also the first team to win successive men's T20 World Cups - no defending champion had even made it to the final previously. India are also the first team to win the tournament at home. India men are the current holders of the Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup titles and have a chance to add the ODI World Cup title to it next year. Each of the 15 players is expected to receive INR 6 crore, while the remaining INR 41 crore will be distributed among the coaching staff and support team. The BCCI has congratulated the players, support staff, and selectors on this historic achievement and wishes them continued success.
