“Under the able and astute leadership of Captain Rohit Sharma, India dominated the tournament, registering four commanding victories en route to the final. The team began their campaign with a solid six-wicket win over Bangladesh, then secured a convincing six-wicket triumph against Pakistan. They continued their momentum with a 44-run victory over New Zealand before ultimately overcoming Australia by four wickets in the semi-final,” a statement released by the BCCI read.
“Winning back-to-back ICC titles is special and this reward recognizes Team India’s dedication and excellence on the global stage. The cash award is a recognition of the hard work that everyone puts in behind the scenes. This was also our second ICC Trophy in 2025, following the ICC U19 Women’s World Cup triumph and it highlights the strong cricketing ecosystem in place in our country” said BCCI president Roger Binny.
Earlier, the Rohit Sharma-led side won nearly Rs 20 crore ($2.24 million) in official prize money for lifting the Champions Trophy and finalists New Zealand got $1.12 million (Rs. 9.72 crore).
Champions Trophy 2025 was India's second consecutive title as Rohit Sharma-led side earlier defeated South Africa in Barbados to win the T20 World Cup 2024.
