New Delhi: In a remarkable display of cricketing prowess, the Indian team, led by Rohit Sharma, has made history by winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 without losing a single match. This achievement marks India’s third Champions Trophy title and their second ICC trophy in 2025, following the ICC U19 Women’s World Cup triumph. To celebrate this outstanding performance, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a substantial cash reward of INR 58 crore for the team.
The Indian team’s unbeaten campaign culminated in a thrilling four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final, held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on March 9, 2025. This triumph not only underscores India’s dominance in international cricket but also highlights the robust cricket ecosystem in the country. The BCCI’s cash reward is a testament to the team’s dedication and excellence, covering not just the players but also the coaching staff, support staff, and members of the men’s selection committee.
India’s journey to the title was marked by commanding victories, starting with a six-wicket win over Bangladesh, followed by another six-wicket triumph against Pakistan, and a 44-run victory over New Zealand. The team then secured a four-wicket win against Australia in the semi-finals, setting the stage for their final showdown with New Zealand. The ICC also awarded the team USD 2.24 million as part of the official prize money for the tournament.
This victory is a significant milestone for Indian cricket, demonstrating the team’s consistent performance and strategic execution under Rohit Sharma’s leadership. It reinforces India’s top ranking in white-ball cricket and sets a new benchmark for future performances.
