 "How much prize money Team India earn for winning Champions Trophy 2025?")
The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy concluded on Sunday with India and New Zealand, the two standout teams in the ninth edition of the tournament, playing out a cracker of a final in Dubai on Sunday . New Zealand had posted a competitive total on the board after India lost yet another ODI toss, finishing on 251/7 thanks to half-centuries from Daryl Mitchell (63) and Michael Bracewell (53 not out).
Rohit Sharma (76) and Shreyas Iyer (48) later played a key role in India’s successful chase, with KL Rahul (34 not out) later finishing things off in style to guide the Men in Blue to a four-wicket victory with an over to spare.

India and New Zealand had triumphed over Australia and South Africa respectively. While India chased down a steep-looking 265-run target set by two-time champions Australia with four wickets and 11 deliveries to spare, the Black Caps inflicted a 50-run defeat on the Proteas in the second semi-final the following day.
The tournament, however, turned out to be a disappointing one for hosts Pakistan, who were the defending champions and also had the home advantage. Their title defence ended with back-to-back losses against the two finalists in a space of four days, and they would bow out without a win after their final Group A match against Bangladesh ended in a washout.
Two-time runners-up England too bowed out without a win, finishing at the bottom of Group B with a hat-trick of defeats – including in a high-scoring thriller against Afghanistan in Lahore. The Englishmen’s forgettable campaign was followed by Jos Buttler resigning as white-ball captain, lasting less than three years in the role.
