However, the Board did not give details of the exact break-up of the fund.
The Indian team was, in fact, undefeated through the tournament, winning all its seven matches.
"The undefeated champions of ASIA. Congratulations Team India on a dominating win and 3-0 against Pak. Marvellous display by Tilak Verma and @imkuldeep18. A great show under pressure," posted Board vice president Rajeev Shukla.
President of India Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also congratulated the Men in Blue after the thrilling victory against Pakistan. "My heartiest congratulations to Team India for winning the Asia Cup cricket tournament. The team did not lose any match in the tournament, marking its dominance in the game. I wish Team India sustained glory in the future," said President Murmu.

PM Modi, on the other hand, gave a reference to Operation Sindoor, drawing parallels between India-Pakistan cross-border conflict and the on-field battle in Dubai on Sunday night. "#OperationSindoor on the games field. Outcome is the same - India wins! Congrats to our cricketers," the Prime Minister posted on X.
