New Delhi, Dec 8 (IANS): The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday announced a cash award of Rs.2 crore for the Indian team for beating South Africa 3-0 in the just-concluded Test series.

    How much BCCI contributed to Chennai relief? How many Indian cricket players contributed to the Chennai people who often cheered them in IPL and in National team? I wish Modi govt promotes the village sports in a big scale so the multi million BCCI feels the heat.
