What were Renuka Singh Thakur’s total earnings from the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup including contracts and prize money?
Renuka Singh Thakur earned well from the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup. She received a big cash prize of ₹1 crore from the Himachal Pradesh government for her important role in India’s win. Besides this state reward, she was part of the Indian team that won around USD 4.48 million (about INR 39.5 crore) in prize money from the ICC, which was shared among the players.
The BCCI also gave the entire team and support staff an extra ₹51 crore cash bonus for winning the World Cup. Along with match fees and her central contract, these make up a strong earning package for Renuka.
The 2025 Women’s World Cup win felt truly massive. The atmosphere during the final, the way everyone was celebrating, it just felt like the entire country was moving in the same rhythm. Renuka Singh was a big part of that pace and pressure with the ball. Her spells set momentum.
The full prize and reward pool for the Indian team was roughly ₹90 crore. When the squad shares that among the regular starters, frontline players usually end up around the ₹5.5 crore to ₹6.5 crore mark from tournament payouts. Renuka’s role with the ball places her in that bracket.
Now, commercially, Renuka is strong but still building. She has trust and recognition, especially among cricket followers, which helped her secure brand partnerships and sportswear deals. During that phase, these likely brought her ₹30 lakh to ₹60 lakh more.
Putting both parts together, her total earnings around the World Cup sit roughly between ₹6 crore and ₹7 crore.
