New Delhi: In a momentous announcement, Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), declared a staggering prize money of ₹125 crore for Team India following their victorious campaign in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The announcement came shortly after India clinched a thrilling seven-run victory over South Africa in the tournament final held in Barbados on Saturday.
