The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a cash prize of $14 million (Rs 131 crore) for the Indian team that won the Twenty20 World Cup. India, the defending champions, defeated New Zealand by 96 runs in the final in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
India became the first team to defend the title in a row. India defeated South Africa in the final in the West Indies two years ago. India also became the first country to win the Twenty20 World Cup three times. This is the first time in 10 editions of the Twenty20 World Cup that a home team has won.
Cricket is a popular sport in India, the world's most populous country, and top cricketers are given high priority. Cricket is deeply rooted in Indian society and culture, and cricket is seen as a symbol of unity.
The BCCI is the richest and most powerful cricketing body in the world. The BCCI, while announcing the cash prize, highly praised its players, coaching staff and selectors and called the title a 'historic achievement'. BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia said in a statement that India has become the most successful team in the Twenty20 format.
The cash prize will be distributed among the entire team, coaches and other members of the team. The Indian team received a prize money of $ 2.34 million from the International Cricket Council (ICC) for winning the title. Runner-up New Zealand received a prize money of $ 1.17 million.
