NEW DELHI (Web Desk) – The Indian Cricket Board on Monday announced a whooping prize money worth Rs1.25 billion for Rohit Sharma-led Team India which defeated South Africa in the T20 World Cup final by seven runs in a last-over thriller in Barbados.

“I am pleased to announce prize money of INR 125 Crores for Team India for winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The team has showcased exceptional talent, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the tournament.
