**Dubai, UAE:** In a thrilling final match against New Zealand, Team India secured a resounding victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, winning by 4 wickets. This marks India’s third Champions Trophy title, following victories in 2002 and 2013. The team remained undefeated throughout the tournament, winning all five matches, including the league stage and knockout rounds.
India’s spin quartet of Varun Chakravarthy, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel proved instrumental in restricting New Zealand to 251/7 in their 50 overs. Daryl Mitchell (63) and Michael Bracewell (53*) scored half-centuries for New Zealand, but the Indian spinners kept a tight leash on the scoring rate. Rachin Ravindra, who scored 37 runs and took 3 wickets throughout the tournament was awarded player of the tournament.
In response, India’s chase was initially boosted by Rohit Sharma’s aggressive 76, but the loss of three quick wickets created some tension. However, Shreyas Iyer’s crucial 48 and a composed innings by KL Rahul (34*) guided India to victory in the 49th over. Jadeja hit the winning boundary. Rohit Sharma was named the player of the match.
While New Zealand’s fielding was exceptional, with impressive catches by Glenn Phillips, India also let go of several crucial chances. Rohit Sharma’s 12th consecutive toss loss also equalled Brian Lara’s record. Despite this, the win added another feather in the cap for Team India, cementing their dominance in world cricket. The victory was celebrated wildly by fans across India and notably at Tank Bund in Hyderabad.
