Rohit Sharma Offered To Give Up T20 World Cup Prize Money Before Rahul Dravid Decision: Report
Former Indian cricket team head coach Rahul Dravid won hearts when he decided to forego half of the Rs 5 crore prize money which he was supposed to get from the pool of Rs 125 crore that the team received from BCCI for winning the T20 World Cup 2024 title. From the total prize money of Rs 125 crore given to the team, Dravid was supposed to get Rs 5 crore while other coaches were going to get Rs 2.5 crore each. However, Dravid took the decision to take the same amount as his support staff (bowling coach Paras Mhambrey, fielding coach T Dilip and batting coach Vikram Rathore). While Dravid was lauded by fans for his gesture, a report revealed that it was actually India captain Rohit Sharma who first offered to forego his prize money to make sure all the support staff were rewarded well.
