This hefty sum comes on top of the official prize money awarded by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to the champions. The ICC offers a cool $2.45 million (approximately 20.42 crore rupees) to the winning team, but the BCCI is clearly going above and beyond to celebrate this momentous achievement.
Lauding the team’s exceptional performance, Jay Shah stated in a media release, “Under the exceptional leadership of Rohit Sharma, this team has shown remarkable resolve and resilience, becoming the first team in the history of the ICC T20 World Cup to win the tournament unbeaten. They have faced and silenced their critics with stellar performances time and again. Their journey has been nothing short of inspirational, and today, they join the ranks of the greats, achieving something truly special that brings immense pride and joy to all Indians.”
Jay expressed immense pride in the team’s dedication and unwavering spirit. He acknowledged the contributions of key players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah, crediting them for fulfilling the aspirations of 1.4 billions of fans across the nation.
