Former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar<\/a> has questioned whether current coach Gautam Gambhir<\/a> will follow Rahul Dravid<\/a>‘s example of sharing prize money equally with support staff after India’s Champions Trophy<\/a> victory.
The exact amount of prize money allocated to Gambhir and the support staff remains undisclosed.

“After the ICC T20 World Cup win and the Board announcement of prize money, the then-coach Rahul Dravid, ever the team man, refused to accept more than his fellow members of the coaching staff and shared it equally with his colleagues,” Gavaskar wrote in his column for Sportstar<\/span>.<\/p>\n

India win Champions Trophy title; Rohit Sharma confirms he’s not retiring<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“It’s been a fortnight since the BCCI<\/a> announced the Champions Trophy rewards, but we haven’t heard anything from the current coach on whether he will also do a Dravid. Or is it that Dravid, in this instance, is not a good role model?” Gavaskar asked.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India<\/a> had announced a reward of Rs 58 crore for the Champions Trophy-winning squad and support staff, following India’s victory under Rohit Sharma’s leadership.
“Now, after our boys won the Champions Trophy, the BCCI announced a whopping Rs 58 crore for the squad and the support staff and selection committee. In July last year, after the stirring victory in the ICC T20 World Cup, the BCCI announced Rs 125 crore for the squad, support staff and selectors,” Gavaskar wrote.<\/p>\n

“This is truly fantastic, as the Board, which is now awash with funds, is showing its appreciation for the efforts put in by everybody and rewarding them generously. The BCCI is also letting the players keep the prize money that the ICC announced for the winners,” Gavaskar added.
The financial rewards will be distributed among the players, coaching staff, support staff, and the men’s selection committee led by Ajit Agarkar.<\/p>\n
