There is now less than 15 days left for the start of the one-day World Cup in England and Wales. In this case, discussions have started about who are claiming to be champions.
Why not, after all, the team that will be the World Champion will receive a trophy of gold and silver, along with a trophy of $ 4 million (about 28 crore rupees) prize money.
The total ICC World Cup 2019 prize money is $ 10 million (about Rs 70 crore). This is more than Rs 15 crore more than the prize money of the recently concluded Indian Premier League. The total prize money of IPL is Rs 55 crores. IPL’s winner, Mumbai Indians, received a sum of Rs 20 crores as prize money.
A total of 45 matches will be played in the league stage; 6 teams arrive in the knockout.
World Cup champions will get less than Rs 122 crore less than Champions League.
The Champions League is the world’s largest football league. 150 crore rupees will be given to his winner team as a reward. 139 crores for the NBA championship in the US Basketball Tournament. Compared to both of these, one-day World Cup champions get very little money.
