Johannesburg: There was a windfall for the Indian cricket team after it lifted the inaugural ICC World Twenty20 cricket tournament beating Pakistan in the final here on Monday.

BCCI president Sharad Pawar, who was present on the occasion, declared an award of $2 million after Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s boys won the nail-biting encounter by five runs in front of a boisterous, tricolour waving crowd.

Another one crore rupees was announced for batting mainstay Yuvraj Singh for becoming the first batsman to hit six sixes in an over in the shorter version of the game.

Yuvraj, who had been firing on all cylinders in the tournament, made the record by whacking Stuart Broad in the Super Eight match against England.

Besides, the tournament prize money of $490000 further swelled the purses of the India players. — PTI
