Breakdown of Rs 58 Crore Champions Trophy 2025 Prize Money to Indian Players and Staff

BCCI announced a cash reward of Rs 58 crore for the Indian cricket team following their triumph in the Champions Trophy 2025, where they defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets in the final on March 9, 2025, in Dubai. This reward is separate from the official ICC prize money for the tournament and is a gesture of appreciation from the BCCI for the team’s achievement in securing their third Champions Trophy title (after 2002 (shared) and 2013).

Breakdown of the Rs 58 Crore Reward

While the BCCI has not released an official, itemized breakdown of how the Rs 58 crore is distributed, some details have emerged from statements and reports:

Player Rewards:

The BCCI specified that each player in the Indian squad would receive Rs 3 crore.

The Indian squad for the Champions Trophy 2025 final included 15 players: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana.

Calculation: 15 players × Rs 3 crore = Rs 45 crore.

Support Staff and Reserves:

The remaining Rs 13 crore (Rs 58 crore – Rs 45 crore) is likely distributed among the support staff, including coaches, physios, trainers, analysts, and other team personnel who played a critical role in the victory.

Key support staff members typically include the head coach (Gautam Gambhir), bowling coach, batting coach, fielding coach, physiotherapist, strength and conditioning coach, team manager, and logistics staff. For the 2025 Champions Trophy, the exact number of support staff hasn’t been detailed, but a standard cricket team support crew can range from 10-15 individuals.

Assuming a conservative estimate of 10 support staff members, the Rs 13 crore could be split, potentially providing each with Rs 1-1.5 crore (or varying amounts based on role and seniority). However, no exact figures for individual support staff rewards have been confirmed.

This Rs 58 crore reward underscores the BCCI’s appreciation for the team’s historic achievement in clinching a record third Champions Trophy title, cementing India’s status as the most successful team in the tournament’s history.
