The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a handsome prize money of Rs 21 crore for India's win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final on Sunday, September 28.
"3 blows. 0 response. Asia Cup Champions. Message delivered. 21 crores prize money for the team and support staff," the BCCI said in a social media post.
India defeated Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final to clinch their ninth continental title with a jaw-dropping win in a humdinger at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Tilak Varma played a masterful unbeaten knock of 69 from 53 balls in an innings that will be cherished in the memories of the Indian fans forever, with it coming in a match like the final.
India chased down 147 with Tilak playing a brilliant knock, with Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube also playing supportive roles with their 24-run and 33-run knocks, respectively. India were pushed to the ropes with the Pakistani spinners getting help from the surface. Tilak held one end up and kept the scoreboard ticking while he found support from Samson and Dube.
Meanwhile, India also created history with their win as they have registered the most wins while chasing and maintaining a 100% win record against a team in T20I.
