Rohit Sharma’s men etched their names in history, conquering New Zealand in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on March 9. This victory marked India’s third Champions Trophy title, having previously lifted the silverware in 2002 and 2013. BCCI President Roger Binny lauded the squad’s relentless pursuit of excellence. He stated, "Winning back-to-back ICC titles is special, and this reward recognises Team India’s dedication and excellence on the global stage. The cash award is a recognition of the hard work that everyone puts in behind the scenes. This was also our second ICC Trophy in 2025, following the ICC U19 Women’s World Cup triumph, and it highlights the strong cricketing ecosystem in place in our country.” BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla echoed similar sentiments, praising the squad’s mental fortitude and technical supremacy. He added, “This cash reward is a tribute to the outstanding performances delivered by the team throughout the tournament. The players exhibited remarkable composure under pressure, and their success is an inspiration to aspiring cricketers across the country.
