The Indian women’s cricket team has won the title of ODI World Cup 2025 just a few days ago. For this he received prize money of about Rs 40 crore. Apart from this, BCCI gave a gift of Rs 51 crore to Team India and the players also received personal gifts from their respective states. Meanwhile, the Indian men’s team has defeated Australia 2-1 in the T20 series at their home. Has Team India received any prize money for winning this series? Know what is ICC’s rule regarding this.

Did Team India get prize money?

Team India has not received any prize money for winning the T20 series against Australia. As per rules, there is no provision of prize money for winning any bilateral series. Since bilateral series are not organized by a global governing body like ICC or ACC. The India vs Australia series was organized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Board of Control for Cricket in Australia (CA).

If any series is being organized in Australia, then the responsibility of hosting will be on the Australian Cricket Board. India has not won a T20 series by going to Australia. ICC has not made any such rule that there should be prize money in bilateral series.

Players get match fees

On winning any bilateral series, a trophy is given to the winning team. A trophy is given to the player who becomes the Player of the Series. In some series and domestic tournaments, prize money is given to the player who becomes Player of the Series and also to the Player of the Match. But it is not necessary that this happens in every series being played in the world. But there is no rule to give prize money to the winning team in bilateral series.

Shreyas Iyer got injured while taking a catch in the third ODI against Australia, although it can be called the best catch of this series so far. In the third ODI, Australia, batting first, scored 236 runs in 46.4 overs. The big question is whether Iyer will be able to come to his position to bat?

Shreyas Iyer took a surprising catch while running backwards from backward point. But while falling he got hurt on his stomach. He immediately lay down on the field, he was in pain and then the physio came to the field and Iyer went out of the field.

India has lost the series

Australia has already been named the host of 3 ODI matches. Australia won the rain-affected match in Perth by 7 wickets. In the second match, Australia won by 2 wickets and took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

Today Shubman Gill and team are fighting for respect, it has never happened in history when Australia has clean swept India in an ODI series in Australia. India would like to avoid this unwanted record by winning the third ODI. Virat Kohli has been out for zero in both the matches of this series, today a match-winning inning is expected from him.

In terms of toss in ODI cricket, the luck of the Indian team captain has been so bad for the last few months that he is continuously losing the toss. Currently, India is on Australia tour, where the last match of the 3-match ODI series is being played today at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Australia has an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series, with the host team registering impressive wins in Perth and Adelaide.

One reason for the defeat in both the matches was losing the toss, in both the matches Mitchell Marsh had chosen to bowl first. It was not easy for India to bat first in overcast conditions, India is batting first in the third match but this decision was also of Mitchell Marsh because he won the toss.

India has lost the toss for the 18th consecutive time!

India last won the toss in ODI cricket in November 2023, this was a World Cup match. Since then, India has lost the toss in all the matches in this format. India is the country that has lost the toss the most number of consecutive times in ODI cricket, this record was not made today but this unwanted record was registered in the name of India during the Champions Trophy played this year itself.

India vs Australia 2nd ODI will be played in Adelaide on Thursday. Shubman Gill and team are trailing 0-1 in the 3-match ODI series. In the second match, all eyes will be on the performance of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, because both of them flopped badly in the last match. When Rohit was out after scoring 8 runs, Kohli could not even open his account. A day before the second match, Team India’s batting coach Sitanshu Kotak came to the press conference, where he answered the questions related to the form of Rohit and Kohli.

Both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli came to play international matches after about 8 months. But both were flops, the veterans also had to face criticism on social media regarding their form. The batting coach who came to the press conference was asked whether the form of these two batsmen was looking bad?

The coach gave this answer on the form of Rohit and Virat

Kotak said, “I don’t think so. They have played IPL, the preparation has been good. I think it (flop in the first ODI) happened because of the weather, if Australia had batted first, the same thing would have happened to them. When the match is stopped 4-5 times, you go in and then come out, it is not easy.”

When the batting coach was asked whether Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma needed guidance from the coach, he believed that unless absolutely necessary, there should be minimal intervention. He said, “Both the batsmen are experienced. They had done complete preparation before coming to Australia. I think it is too early to form an opinion about them. They have just retired from the Test format. Before coming here, we all knew their fitness level and preparation. We had got their videos in the NCA. There is no need to interfere immediately with such players if you feel that they are doing well. Too much interference would not be a good way.”

Both seem to be in good rhythm – batting coach

The coach further said, both Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma were looking in good form. He batted well in the nets yesterday. “To be honest, I think he’s doing well.”

India vs Australia 2nd ODI will be played on 23 October at Adelaide Oval. According to Australia time, this match will start at 2 pm. The match will start at 9 am Indian time, the toss will take place at 8:30 am.
