Royal Challengers Bengaluru made history last night by winning their first-ever IPL title, defeating Punjab Kings by six runs in a thrilling final at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. This long-awaited victory is especially significant for cricket fans, as RCB finally lifted the trophy after 18 years of passionate support and near-misses.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru were awarded ₹20 crore as prize money for winning the IPL 2025 title. This amount is distributed among the franchise, players, and support staff. While the exact split for RCB’s 2025 win hasn’t been officially disclosed, it is standard IPL practice for a significant portion often around 50% to be shared among the players and support staff as bonuses, with the remainder retained by the franchise.

Player Salaries and Earnings

  • Each RCB player also receives their contracted salary for the season, which is separate from any prize money. For example, Virat Kohli earned ₹21 crore as his player salary for IPL 2025, making him the highest-paid player in the league.
  • Other top RCB salaries for 2025 include Josh Hazlewood (₹12.5 crore), Phil Salt (₹11.5 crore), Rajat Patidar (₹11 crore), and Bhuvneshwar Kumar (₹10.75 crore). Prize Money Distribution
  • Team Prize: ₹20 crore for RCB as IPL 2025 champions.
  • Individual Awards: Players winning individual honors (like Orange Cap, Purple Cap, etc.) received ₹10 lakh each. For instance, Kamindu Mendis (Best Catch) and other individual awardees took home these additional bonuses. Estimated Bonus for Players
  • If RCB follows the usual IPL trend and distributes about half the prize money among the squad and staff, each player could receive several lakhs to a few crores as a bonus, depending on their seniority and role. For instance, Virat Kohli, given his stature and contribution, likely received a significant share, though the exact figure is not public.

The total payout for RCB players in 2025, combining salaries and bonuses, is substantial, with star players like Kohli earning the most.
