Sachin Tendulkar's India Masters secured the inaugural International Masters League title on Sunday by defeating the West Indies Masters, captained by Brian Lara. From the outset, India dominated the match, with spinner Shahbaz Nadeem playing a crucial role by limiting the West Indies to just 12 runs in four overs.

Although the tournament featured retired players, some of whom had not participated in cricket for several years, the matches were played with great enthusiasm. A notable incident was the verbal altercation between Yuvraj Singh and Tino Best during the final. Additionally, there were significant monetary rewards available for various achievements, alongside the major prizes for the champions and the players of the series.

Regarding the prize money for the winners and runners-up, Tendulkar proudly lifted the trophy for his victorious team and celebrated with his fellow players. The India Masters team, which included Yuvraj Singh, Yusuf Pathan, and Irfan Pathan alongside Tendulkar, received a cash prize of ₹1 crore. The West Indies Masters, featuring players like Ravi Rampaul and Sulieman Benn, as well as Chris Gayle in earlier matches, earned ₹5 crore for their second-place finish.
