1. Introduction
It once again carved a space in the annals of cricket history when the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was claimed by Team India under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. ICC Champions Trophy 2025 could be the most dramatic tournament as it remains undefeated by India, which later defeated New Zealand in a nail-biting final. Team India also won a hefty prize from the ICC-a whopping Rs 20 crore in the form of cash prize ($2.24 million).
2. India Clinches the ICC Champions Trophy 2025
Final match held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, India edged a strong New Zealand team by 4 wickets. The captaincy of Rohit Sharma led the way to secure batting charge with placement as top-scorer for Team India. With this win, India has won the Champions Trophy thrice: twice outright and once shared.
3. Prize Money for Team India and New Zealand
India, as the Champions Trophy winning team, has been awarded Rs. 20 crore (around $2.24 million). On the other hand, Rs 9.72 crore (around $1.12 million) awaits New Zealand, the runner up for the Champions Trophy. These huge cash rewards signify the worth of the tournament, as well as the hot competition among the best cricketing nations.
4. Rishabh Pant's IPL 2025 Salary vs. ICC Prize Money
By far, this one is most surprising in the prize distribution, as it compares Team India's reward and Rishabh Pant's IPL 2025 salary. While Pant did not appear in a single game in the Champions Trophy, the Lucknow Super Giants bought him for Rs 27 crore ($3 million) during the IPL 2025 auction, making Pant's IPL salary higher than the Champions Trophy prize money again, highlighting the financial domination of franchise cricket.
5. BCCI Reaction on India's Victory
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has lauded the fantastic performance of Team India in the Champions Trophy. The board would also announce more incentives for the players as recognition for their dedicated efforts in winning the title at last after 12 years.
6. Conclusion
Besides continuing to storm the cricketing world with this triumph, becoming yet another feather on Rohit Sharma's captaincy record, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 saw India coming into the limelight with a big cash prize, an unbeaten run, and dominance over the best teams. However, the most striking point that remains is the difference with regard to the monetary end in international cricket compared to that with the IPL.
