After the victory in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, there was a wave of happiness among the Indian fans as Team India ended the 11-year ICC trophy drought. After becoming the world champion, Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah also became very happy.

Shah made a big announcement in happiness and announced a reward of Rs 125 crore for the team that won the World Cup. This amount will be distributed among the players and coaching staff and now the information has come out as to who will get how much money.

16 players got Rs 5 crore each

There was a big bias in the World Cup prize money, these 16 players got 5 crores each, while these 4 players got only 1 crore 2

There has been a kind of discrimination in distributing this World Cup prize money because everyone has been given money on different scales. In this sequence, 16 players have received Rs 5 crore each, while others have been given less money than this.

Actually, all the 15 players included in the World Cup squad have been given Rs 5 crore each and this includes players like Sanju Samson, Yuzvendra Chahal, Yashasvi Jaiswal who did not play even a single match. Apart from this, it has been announced to give Rs 5 crore to head coach Rahul Dravid as well.

These 4 players will get only 1 crore rupees

Let us tell you that when BCCI announced the team for the T20 World Cup, at that time 4 players were kept in reserve, which included the names of Shubman Gill, Rinku Singh, Avesh Khan and Khalil Ahmed. However, Gill and Avesh were released from the list of reserve players by the cricket board after the group stage match.

So both Rinku and Khalil were with Team India during the entire World Cup. Now these four players will get Rs 1 crore each. BCCI has decided to give prize money to reserve players as well.

These people including the selection committee will also get reward

Actually, selectors will also get money from this prize money and they will get Rs 1 crore as a reward. Apart from head coach Rahul Dravid, other coaching staff will get Rs 2.5 crore, which includes batting coach, fielding coach and bowling coach. Apart from this, backroom staff will also get Rs 2 crore each.
