How Much India Team Earned in WTC 2023-25 Despite Being Knocked Out of Tournament?

The ICC announced the prize money of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 edition, as the winner will take home around 30 crores, which is double compared to the last edition winner earned.

India finished in third place in the WTC cycle 2023-25 and couldn’t qualify for the WTC final for the first time ever. India bagged almost the same prize, which Australia earned last time after winning the WTC 2021-23 cycle.

ICC has doubled the purse of the WTC ahead of the 2023-25 cycle final between Australia and South Africa at Lord's on June 11, Wednesday.

How much does India earn in the WTC 2023-25?

India earned almost INR 12.32 crore despite being knocked out of the tournament in the league stage. The amount of INR 12.32 crore is equal to the previous winners of the WTC - New Zealand in 2021 and Australia in 2023.

India’s whitewash against New Zealand at their home, halted their chances of qualifying for the third successive time in the final of the WTC cycle. After that heartbreaking loss, India lost the Border-Gavaskar series for the first time since 2014-15.
