Prize Money for Sachin Tendulkar's India Masters and Runner-up West Indies at IML

Sachin Tendulkar's India Masters claimed victory in the first International Masters League championship, defeating Brian Lara's West Indies Masters in a thrilling final match. The Indian team dominated from the start, with spinner Shahbaz Nadeem playing a crucial role by limiting the West Indies batsmen to just 12 runs in four overs.

While it was retired players who played in the tournament, some of whom hadn't played any kind of cricket for many a year, the matches were played with passion, Yuvraj Singh's verbal bust up with Tino Best in the final being an example. There was also substantial prize money to be won for various awards apart from the big ones for the title-winners themselves and the player of the series.

Prize money for the winners and the runners-up

Tendulkar lifted the trophy for the winning side before celebrating with the rest of his teammates. The India Masters side, which included Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan and Irfan Pathan along with Tendulkar, won a cash prize of ₹1 crore. The West Indies Masters, which featured Ravi Rampaul, Sulieman Benn and, in earlier games, Chris Gayle, received a cash prize of ₹5 crore for finished runners-up. Ambati Rayudu won player of the match after scoring 74 runs in 50 balls. He won a cash prize of ₹50,000.
