Read Original Content: Rohit Sharma To Sacrifice INR 5 Crore Bonus to Boost Support Staff Rewards
Just like former Team India coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma was reportedly ready to give up his INR 5 crore bonus prize money for the support staff, which he got after winning the T20 World Cup 2024 to the support staff.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) presented Team India with a staggering cash prize of INR 125 crore, which is six times the amount awarded by the ICC for the T20 World Cup 2024 and surpasses the tournament’s total prize pool of INR 93.52 crore.
The board assured the BCCI that each of the 15 players in the India squad, along with head coach Rahul Dravid, will receive INR 5 crore each, while coaching staff and support staff will be awarded INR 2.5 crore and INR 2 crore each, respectively.
One of India's support staff members said, "when the 125cr prize money was distributed, Rohit Sharma raised his voice and said 'support staff shouldn't get such less money'. He was even ready to relinquish his own bonus for us". (Abhishek Tripathi).
