Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, said that Team India will get prize money of ₹125 crore following their 17-year wait to win the T20 World Cup. The Indian Cricket Board hasn’t made it clear, though, how the players and coaching staff would split this cash. Team India won Rs. 125 crore as a result of their successful T20 World Cup 2024, captained by Rohit Sharma. Following the return of squad India, Eknath Shinde, the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, also said that the squad will get a prize money of Rs 11 crore.
For the international cricket tournament, 42 individuals traveled to the United States and the West Indies. This group included 15 members of the first team as well as support personnel, reserves, etc. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that the prize money of Rs. 125 crore will not only be given to the players but also to the reserve players, support personnel, and other members of the 42-member delegation.
Jay Shah’s Stance
“As far as Rs 125 crores is concerned, it will cover the players, support staff, coaches, and selectors as well. Everyone,” Jay Shah mentioned.
“Players and support staff have been informed about the amount of prize money they will be receiving from the BCCI and we have asked everyone to submit an invoice,” a BCCI source stated.
Breakdown of Prize Money Distribution For India’s T20 World Cup Win
Each of the 15 players from India’s squad, including those who were unable to participate in a single match, would receive Rs. 5 crore. Rahul Dravid, the head coach, will also receive Rs. 5 crore from the prize money. In addition to the fifteen players selected for the T20 World Cup, the BCCI selection committee also chose the following reserve players:
- Avesh Khan
- Khaleel Ahmed
- Rinku Singh
- Shubman Gill
Additionally, they will receive rewards of INR 1 crore apiece.
Dravid’s coaching team, which consists of Paras Mhambrey as bowling coach, T Dilip as fielding coach, and Vikram Rathour as batting coach, is paid Rs. 2.5 crore each. The members of the selection committee, including their leader Ajit Agarkar, would receive Rs. 1 crore apiece.

The Heartbreaking Retirement
Following the match, captain Rohit, Virat Kohli, and Ravindra Jadeja declared their retirements from T20 international cricket. Before the tournament even began, Dravid had said that come what may, he would be leaving his position as team head coach.
