India was victorious from the T20 World Cup 2024, defeating South Africa by a close seven runs to claim the title.
With wins in all eight games, India’s historic T20 World Cup 2024 victory not only preserved their perfect record but also put an end to their passionate 11-year wait for an ICC championship. At Kensington Oval in Barbados, they were victorious by a thrilling seven runs. With their spouses and families joining them on the pitch to celebrate this historic occasion, the Indian players broke into ecstatic scenes.
By walking out to the outfield, Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), added his congratulations to Rohit Sharma and his team for their incredible accomplishment. He was seen supervising the Indian team’s award presentations and taking part in all of their festivities, including the trophy-lifting ceremony. That wasn’t all, though.
“I am pleased to announce prize money of INR 125 Crores for Team India for winning the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024,” Jay Shah said on X on Sunday, June 30. Throughout the tournament, the team has shown remarkable talent, tenacity, and sportsmanship. Thank you for this incredible accomplishment, coaches, support staff, and players alike!
The ICC’s chief executive, Geoff Allardice, highlighted the 2024 edition’s historic significance prior to the competition starting and stressed the significant prize money that was awarded to teams and players alike. India, the grand champion, was awarded a cash prize of $2.45 million (INR 20.42 crore) by the ICC.
The Men in Blue’s upcoming task is to travel to Zimbabwe for a five-match Twenty20 International series, where Shubman Gill will be managing an Indian team that has undergone a makeover. Young players that excelled in the IPL 2024 season, such as Abhishek Sharma and Riyan Parag, have been rewarded with a national call-up. In his capacity as the tour’s official head coach, NCA chief VVS Laxman will travel with the group.
