BCCI announces cash reward for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 success

In less than two weeks of India's successful campaign in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the cash reward for the title-winning members.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 returned after eight years as Pakistan were the hosts for the ninth edition of the tournament. Including the hosts and defending champions Pakistan, eight teams participated in the tournament, and the other teams were India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, England, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan. 

While all six other foreign teams traveled to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, India rejected traveling to Pakistan, and ultimately all of their matches shifted to the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.

India won all the matches in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

The Rohit Sharma-led India started from Group A with Bangladesh, Pakistan, and New Zealand. After beating Bangladesh and Pakistan by six wickets each, the Men in Blues beat New Zealand in their last group stage match against New Zealand by 44 runs. In the first Semi-final, India beat Australia by four wickets. India and New Zealand met once again in the Final of the tournament, and India won their third ICC Champions Trophy title after winning it by four wickets. 

Under the leadership of Sourav Ganguly, India jointly won the ICC Champions Trophy 2002 along with the hosts Sri Lanka as their Final matches (including a fresh start on the reserve day) ended with no results. In the ICC Champions Trophy 2013, MS Dhoni-led India beat the hosts England in the Final to win their second Champions Trophy. Now, India has become the first team to win the ICC Champions Trophy three times.
