Indian defeated New Zealand by four wickets in the summit match in Dubai on March 9 to win the Champions Trophy 2025. After winning the 2013 edition under MS Dhoni and finishing as co-winners with Sri Lanka in 2002, this was their third success in the prized ODI competition.
Speaking of the summit match, India lost the toss and narrowly defeated the Kiwis to 251/7. The spinners saved the day, taking five of the seven wickets that fell without giving up many runs, despite the four missed opportunities. Ravindra Jadeja took one wicket, while Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav each took two. Michael Bracewell scored a strong 53 and Daryl Mitchell scored a cool 63.
Rohit Sharma launched the attack on the opposition and reached a fast fifty to start the run-chase in style. But there was a slowdown as a result of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill’s abrupt dismissals. Before Shreyas Iyer’s sane 48 and Axar Patel’s vital 29 steadied India’s ship, Rohit eventually died for 76. In the end, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul’s composure saw India cross the finish line without any more problems.
Champions Trophy 2025: How Much Prize Money Will Each Indian Player Receive?
Out of the total prize pool of INR 59.9 crore ($6.9 million) which will be distributed across all participating teams, the Indian side will receive INR 19.45 crore ($2.24 million).
The INR 59.9 crore is a whopping 53% increase from the previous edition of the tournament which was conducted eight years back in 2017.
Although the precise amount of money that will be awarded to each member of the victorious Indian contingent is unknown, it is reasonable to presume that the 15-man squad and the support personnel will split the monetary reserve equally. In India, the Board of Control for Cricket may offer additional bonuses.
