India Receive $14.2 Million Bonus After Historic T20 Cup Victory

India’s T20 World Cup – (Web Desk) – India’s T20 World Cup winning team received a huge bonus on Tuesday from the country’s cricket board. The Board of Control for Cricket in India announced a reward of INR 1.31 billion, which is about 14.24 million dollars.

The team won their third men’s T20 World Cup title after beating New Zealand by 96 runs in the final on Sunday in Ahmedabad. It was a one-sided match and India stayed in control from the start.

For winning the tournament, India had already received 2.34 million dollars as official prize money.

The BCCI, which is the richest cricket board in the world, said the extra reward was given to honor the team’s strong performance. The bonus alone is even larger than the total prize pool of the tournament, which was about 11.25 million dollars.
