Will Amol Majumdar get this much money? (PC-PTI)
India’s women’s cricket team created history on November 2 and won the World Cup for the first time. Amol Majumdar also had a big contribution in this victory, who changed the thinking of the team and changed their playing style. Amol Majumdar made India’s playing eleven extremely balanced, after which the team became world champion. But you will be surprised to know that this World Cup winning coach is now going to get 10 times less money. Actually, Maharashtra government has announced to give cash prizes to three players of its state. Besides, Amol Majumdar will also get cash prize but it will be 10 times less than the players.
Just this much reward for Amol Majumdar?
A resolution was passed in the Maharashtra Cabinet on Wednesday, according to which three Maharashtra players Jemimah Rodrigues, Smriti Mandhana and Radha Yadav will be given Rs 2.25 crore. Whereas Amol Majumdar will get only Rs 22.5 lakh. This amount is 10 times less than these three players. It is accepted that players have a big contribution in winning the World Cup, but the truth is also that Amol Majumdar has also worked hard to make this team the world champion.
Majumdar’s invaluable contribution
Amol Majumdar was made the head coach of India in October 2023 and this veteran made the team the champion in the Asia Cup. Apart from winning the bilateral series, the team improved its fitness and fielding. The most important thing was that along with Smriti Mandhana, he gave opportunities to a new opener Pratika Raval who scored more than 300 runs in the World Cup, although due to injury she could not play the semi-finals and finals.
Majumdar is a very calm coach but his strategies are aggressive, which benefited the team. Even in the World Cup 2025, the Indian team had lost three consecutive matches in the group stage, but despite this, the team achieved the honor of becoming world champion by defeating Australia in the semi-finals and South Africa in the final. In such a situation, it is clear that Amol Majumdar’s contribution is not less and his expectation of more reward money is probably not wrong. Well, the biggest reward of Amol Majumdar is his World Cup trophy, which he has achieved.
Amol Majumdar’s career
Amol Majumdar never debuted for India but this player had performed amazingly in Indian domestic cricket. Majumdar had scored 11167 runs with 30 centuries in 171 matches. However, despite his amazing performance, he could never play for India.
