The Indian cricket team, which won the T20 World Cup, has been rewarded with a bonus of INR 125 crore (approximately USD 15 million) by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The announcement was made by BCCI Secretary Jay Shah following India’s victory over South Africa in the final. Shah praised the team for their exceptional talent, determination, and sportsmanship throughout the tournament.

The total prize money for the tournament has more than doubled from USD 5.6 million in 2022 to USD 11.25 million this year. This means an increase in awards for all 20 participating teams across the board.
As runners-up, South Africa will receive USD 1.28 million, a notable increase from the prize money awarded in 2022. The losing semi-finalists, Afghanistan and England, will each receive USD 787,500, also a significant increase from previous years. The increase in prize money for all teams reflects a commitment to recognizing and rewarding the achievements of players and teams in the tournament.
