In a grand post-match ceremony following India’s Champions Trophy 2025 triumph, players not only celebrated their victory but also took home substantial rewards.
The winning team’s prize purse stood at approximately USD 2.24 million (Rs 19.5 crores), translating to around USD 150,000 (Rs 1.3 crores) per player from the final match alone.
Additional bonuses from group-stage wins and participation added roughly USD 15,000 (Rs 13 lakh) to each player’s earnings.
Top performers received extra incentives, with one standout player earning an additional USD 50,000 (Rs 4.35 crores) for exceptional performance.
Apart from cash, every player was awarded a commemorative medal made of high-grade silver plated with approximately 6 grams of gold.
Weighing around 270 grams, each medal carries an estimated material value of USD 500 (Rs 43,500), though its symbolic worth is immeasurable.
Sponsors like Coca-Cola and FanCraze also contributed, gifting premium merchandise and digital collectibles worth an estimated USD 5,000 (Rs 4.3 lakh) per player.
Taking into account all earnings throughout the tournament, the average Indian player took home nearly USD 200,000 (Rs 1.74 crores), making this championship a highly rewarding success.
