After former Team India coach Rahul Dravid, skipper Rohit Sharma too showcased his kind gesture as he was reportedly ready to give up his INR 5 crore bonus prize money for support staff who played a vital role behind the scenes to help India clinch the T20 World Cup 2024 triumph.
  The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) awarded a cash prize of a whopping INR 125 crore for Team India, which is 6 times more than what the T20 World Cup 2024 got from the ICC and even more than the tournament's total prize pool of INR 93.52 crore. The board confirmed to the BCCI that each of the 15 players in the India squad and head coach Rahul Dravid will receive INR 5 crore each, while coaching staff and support staff will be awarded 2.5 crore and 2 crore each, respectively. As per the report by Dainik Bhaskar, Rohit Sharma is unhappy with the bonus awarded to the support staff he doesn't even mind deducting his amount from the bonus prize to increase the money of the support staff. However, Sharma specifically didn't mention which support staff members he wanted to increase the bonus for.
