The Indian cricket team that won the Asia Cup and its support staff will receive Rs 21 crore in prize money from the BCCI for their undefeated record in the recently concluded tournament. Following the team’s five-wicket victory over bitter rivals Pakistan in Sunday’s tournament final in Dubai, the Board made the statement. “It was (an) extraordinary victory and therefore as a part of celebrations, BCCI has announced a cash award of Rs 21 crore in favour of the players and the support staff who are part of the Indian team in the Asia Cup,” Devajit Saikia, the secretary of the BCCI.
The body did not, however, provide details regarding the fund’s division.
“That money will be distributed and this is a big reward for our team and the Indian cricket board as well as the people of India. We are extremely proud of our cricketers and the support staff for their superb performance in Dubai,” Saikia added.
On its social media accounts, the BCCI also sent a joyful message.
“Three blows. 0 response. Asia Cup Champions. Message delivered. (Rs) 21 crores prize money for the team and support staff,” it stated referring to India’s unbeaten streak against Pakistan.
In actuality, the Indian team won all seven of its games and finished the tournament undefeated.
“The undefeated champions of ASIA. Congratulations Team India on a dominating win and 3-0 against Pak. Marvellous display by Tilak Verma and @imkuldeep18. A great show under pressure,” posted Board vice president Rajeev Shukla.
