titles is special and this reward recognises Team India’s dedication and
excellence on the global stage. The cash award is a recognition of the hard work
that everyone puts in behind the scenes. This was also our second ICC Trophy in
2025, following the ICC U19 Women’s World Cup triumph, and it highlights the
strong cricketing ecosystem in place in our country.”
-
- Rohit Sharma and Co. dominated the tournament, registering
four commanding victories en route to lifting the trophy. They began their
campaign with a six-wicket win over Bangladesh, then secured a convincing
six-wicket triumph against Pakistan. They continued their momentum with a
44-run victory over New Zealand before ultimately overcoming Australia by four
wickets in the semifinal.
-
- Devajit Saikia, BCCI secretary, added, “The BCCI is proud to
honour the players and support staff with this well-deserved reward. Their
dominance in world cricket is a result of years of hard work and strategic
execution. This victory has justified India’s top ranking in white-ball
cricket, and we are sure the team will continue to excel in the years to come.
The dedication and commitment shown by the players have set a new benchmark,
and we are confident that Indian cricket will keep raising the bar on the
global stage.”

- India also became the first country to win the Champions
Trophy for a record third time in the eight-team tournament's history.
-
- Rajeev Shukla, BCCI vice-president, said, “This cash reward
is a tribute to the outstanding performances delivered by the team throughout
the tournament. The players exhibited remarkable composure under pressure, and
their success is an inspiration to aspiring cricketers across the country. The
team has once again proved that Indian cricket is built on a strong foundation
of skill, mental toughness, and a winning mentality.”
