Indian cricketers rewarded with cash after winning medals
State governments across India have stepped forward to honour their cricketers who brought home gold from the 2026 Asian Games in Japan.
Deepti Sharma
Uttar Pradesh honoured Deepti Sharma with a cash prize of ₹3 crore following India's dominant gold medal performance in women's cricket. Deepti was the standout bowler in the women's final against Sri Lanka, claiming figures of 3/6 as India bowled out Sri Lanka for just 69 in 15.4 overs. India had earlier posted 216/3 in their 20 overs, winning by 147 runs. The women's final was a repeat of the Hangzhou 2023 gold medal match, and India's victory was also described as the country's first gold medal at the 2026 Asian Games.
