Udaipur, Dec 08, 2025: The Delhi government has announced a big reward for Indian opening batter Pratika Rawal for her brilliant performance in the 2025 Women’s World Cup. Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta announced a cash prize of ₹1.5 crore for her. The Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) also announced a reward of ₹50 lakh. With this, Pratika Rawal’s total prize money has reached ₹2 crore.

Pratika Rawal showed great form throughout the tournament. However, she could not play in the semi-final and final as she suffered a serious injury in the last group-stage match and was ruled out of the World Cup. Shafali Verma replaced her in the team.

She also attended the felicitation ceremony later, which was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Droupadi Murmu. ICC Chairman Jay Shah announced that Pratika will also receive a World Cup winner’s medal, even though she did not play in the final matches.
