Richer by few crores

Reclaiming the World Cup after a gap of 20 years will not only make Sourav Ganguly and his men super-stars back home, it will also leave them richer by a few crores of rupees overnight.

If India manages to win the title, it will get the winners' cheque of Rs. 10 crore. Besides the prize money from the entire tournament which will run into Rs. 11 crores, the Indian team members are likely to get huge cash incentives and gifts from the national cricket board as well as various corporate houses.

Indian team sponsor, Amby Valley, an initiative of Sahara Group, has also said it will provide the cricketers and their support staff a seven-star fully furnished deluxe apartment in the `World Champion Enclave' building at Sahara Lake City. The total cost of the package promised for the team would be in excess of Rs. 23 crore.
