      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330408054/bcci-announces-cash-reward-three-times-higher-than-icc-prize-for-champions-trophy-victory</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a massive cash reward for the Indian team following their triumph in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;BCCI will award the team Rs58 crore (approximately Rs1.88 billion) — a sum three times larger than the official ICC prize money for the tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to BCCI, the prize money will be distributed among players, coaching staff, and selection committee members who played a role in the historic victory.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, India remained undefeated throughout the tournament and secured their third Champions Trophy title by defeating New Zealand in the final.&lt;/p&gt;
