Windfall for Team India
Posted September 26th, 2007 by Nanda 4 Comments »
Just winning the Twenty20 World Cup was more than enough for each member of the Indian squad to be awarded tons of hard cash. On top of the $490,000 prize money from the Twenty20 World cup here is what I have found so far:
- $3,000,000 awarded to the team by the BCCI
- The Pathan brothers were awarded Rs 500,000 each by the Gujrat government.
- Sahara awards each member of the Indian squad (15 in total) a free house at any of the 217 Sahara India Parivar owned properties. Each house would be worth Rs 2,500,000 approximately.
- Free world tour for players and their families on Air India
- Dhoni, Yuvraj, Uthappa, Irfan Pathan, RP Singh and Harbhajan Singh - all Air India employees - will also get out of turn promotions (whatever that means).
- Robin Uthappa to receive Rs 300,000 from the Kerala government.
