What was Richa Ghosh’s earning in the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup from prize money and BCCI contracts?
Richa Ghosh earned well from the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup. She gets match fees of about INR 6 lakhs for each ODI she played. Richa has a BCCI Grade B contract, which means she gets around INR 30 lakhs every year from the cricket board.
When India won the World Cup, the team received around USD 4.48 million (about INR 40 crores) in prize money from the ICC, and Richa got her share of this. On top of that, the BCCI announced an extra cash prize of ₹51 crore for the entire team, which was divided among all players, including Richa.
The total reward pool for the Indian women’s team in the 2025 World Cup, combining ICC prize money and the BCCI bonus, was around ₹90 crore. When this amount is distributed among the core squad, key players typically receive ₹5 to ₹6 crores. Richa Ghosh, being a crucial performer and a regular in the XI, would fall in this bracket.
On top of that, Richa’s commercial profile has been rising fast. With her strong on-field presence and growing fan recall, brand and endorsement earnings during that period would be in the ₹35 to ₹60 lakh range.
So her total earnings around the 2025 World Cup phase realistically sit around: ₹6+ crores
Solid numbers, and even stronger trajectory ahead.
