After a dominant campaign, Rohit Sharma’s men secured a Rs 20 crore ($2.24 million) prize for winning the tournament.
India’s Road to Victory
India remained unbeaten throughout the competition, capping off their campaign with a thrilling four-wicket win over New Zealand in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Rohit Sharma led from the front, finishing as India’s top run-scorer, guiding his team to their third Champions Trophy title.

How India’s Prize Money Compares to IPL Salaries
Interestingly, despite winning an ICC trophy, India’s Champions Trophy reward is less than what Rishabh Pant earned in the IPL 2025 auction. The wicketkeeper-batter, who didn’t play in the tournament, was bought by Lucknow Super Giants for Rs 27 crore—more than India’s entire Champions Trophy prize.
BCCI’s Reaction to India’s Historic Win
Following India’s victory, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) praised the team’s performance, calling it a landmark achievement.
BCCI President Roger Binny stated:
“This triumph is a landmark moment for Indian cricket. To dominate yet another global tournament and bring home the Champions Trophy is a phenomenal achievement. I congratulate captain Rohit Sharma, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and the entire squad for their historic success.”
