Overview
- Multiple outlets citing PTI report that unnamed BCCI officials are discussing a ₹125 crore reward, with any announcement expected only after the final.
- The proposed figure would mirror the amount the men's team received following their 2024 T20 World Cup triumph under then secretary Jay Shah.
- India face South Africa in the Women's ODI World Cup final at DY Patil Stadium on November 2, and the reported bonus would apply only in the event of a victory.
- The discussions come as ICC pay‑parity measures lift official tournament prizes, with the winner set to receive about ₹37.3 crore and the runner‑up ₹20 crore.
- In 2017, India’s runners‑up received ₹50 lakh per player; reports note a potential tenfold jump per player now, though distribution details remain unconfirmed.
