NEW DELHI (Reuters): The Indian cricket board (BCCI) handed its team, which claimed the Champions Trophy title earlier this month, a US$6.72 million cash bonus on Thursday, an amount three times the winner's purse for the 50-overs tournament.
Rohit Sharma and his men beat New Zealand by four wickets in the March 9 final in Dubai to win their second successive global title, following their Twenty20 World Cup triumph last year. The team took home US$2.24 million for the Champions Trophy win.
