What a night for Royal Challengers Bangalore!
The RCB women just won their second straight Women’s Premier League title in 2026. They beat Delhi Capitals by 6 wickets in a nail-biting final. Now RCB sits level with Mumbai Indians – both teams have two WPL trophies each. Pure history!
Captain Smriti Mandhana was the real star. She smashed 87 runs off just 41 balls, even while fighting a fever. That knock won her Player of the Match. Fans are buzzing – how much prize money did the RCB players get, and did Mandhana earn extra?
WPL 2026 Prize Money Breakdown
Here’s the simple split from the BCCI:
- Champions (RCB): ₹6 crore
- Runners-up (Delhi Capitals): ₹3 crore
- Orange Cap (top run-scorer): ₹5 lakh
- Player of the Match (final): ₹2.5 lakh
Both individual awards went to Smriti Mandhana!
How RCB Shared the ₹6 Crore
The team decided to split the big ₹6 crore equally among the 24-member squad and support staff. That means every single person got around ₹25 lakh. Fair and simple – everyone who worked hard got the same share.
But Mandhana’s pocket felt heavier. On top of her ₹25 lakh team share, she kept the full Orange Cap (₹5 lakh) and Player of the Match (₹2.5 lakh) money. That’s an extra ₹7.5 lakh straight to her. Total for Mandhana? Around ₹32.5 lakh!
A team source said, “Individual awards go directly to the player. That’s why our captain got more – she truly earned it.”
