The prize pool isn't exclusive to players alone but extends to the entire 42-member contingent that supported the team throughout the tournament, including support staff and reserves. 

Each of the 15 main players, including Rohit Sharma, are set to receive Rs 5 crore, while the four reserve players — Rinku Singh, Shubman Gill, Avesh Khan, and Khaleel Ahmed — will be awarded Rs 1 crore each.

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah emphasized the inclusivity of the prize distribution, stating, "Rs 125 crore will cover players, support staff, coaches, and selectors alike." 

Head coach Rahul Dravid, along with batting coach Vikram Rathour, fielding coach T. Dilip, and bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, will each receive Rs 2.5 crore for their contributions to the team's success.

Notably, the prize money acknowledges everyone involved in India's victorious campaign, irrespective of their on-field roles.
