The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a major reward for the Indian Under-19 men\u2019s team following their memorable triumph in the ICC Under-19 Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The announcement comes after India produced a dominant all-round performance to lift the prestigious trophy for a record sixth time, further cementing the nation\u2019s supremacy in age-group cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Indian Under-19 team will receive a cash reward of \u20b97.5 crore for winning the U19 Men\u2019s Cricket World Cup, which was held in Zimbabwe and Namibia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
India sealed the title with a comprehensive victory over England in the final at the Harare Sports Club. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The young Indian side displayed remarkable composure and maturity on the big stage, outclassing their opponents in both batting and bowling to complete a campaign marked by consistency and confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed that the total reward will be shared among the players, the technical support staff, and the national selection committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that while the exact distribution of the prize money is still being finalised, the board remains committed to recognising the collective effort that went into the title-winning campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final witnessed an extraordinary batting display from India. Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi grabbed the spotlight with a sensational century, showcasing fearless stroke-play well beyond his age. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Captain Ayush Mhatre played a steady and responsible knock, anchoring the innings, while wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu\u2019s valuable contribution ensured India posted a formidable total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
England began their chase with promise, but sustained pressure from India\u2019s disciplined bowling attack led to a middle-order collapse. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although Caleb Falconer fought valiantly with a brilliant century, the target proved too steep as India maintained control throughout the contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The victory also completed a rare double for Indian cricket, with the country now holding both the ICC Under-19 Men\u2019s and Women\u2019s World Cup titles simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
