The Indian cricket team has finally won the Champions Trophy 2025 after a long wait of 12 years. With this victory, India became the first team in the world to win the tournament three times. Rohit Sharma-led Team India defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The match between India and New Zealand today was very exciting, in which New Zealand batted first and scored 251 runs for 7 wickets. India won the match by an innings and 254 runs.
India’s second ICC title in 10 months
The victory was special for the Indian cricket team as it was their second ICC title in the last 10 months. In June 2024, Team India won the T20 World Cup and now the Champions Trophy 2025. The Indian team played well throughout the tournament and did not lose a single match. Earlier, India won the trophy in 2002 under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly and in 2013 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Now under the leadership of Rohit Sharma, Team India has created history.
Rahul plays a crucial role in India’s victory
Ravindra Jadeja scored a brilliant century in the final over of the match. He stitched an unbeaten partnership with KL Rahul and guided the team to the target. KL Rahul gave stability to the team by scoring 34 runs, while Jadeja scored 9 not out runs in 6 balls. Earlier, Shreyas Iyer (48 runs) and Axar Patel (29 runs) laid the foundation for India’s victory.
Rohit-Gill opening partnership
Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill have given India the perfect start. The duo put on 105 runs for the first wicket. However, Shubman Gill was dismissed for 31, after which India’s innings faltered a bit. Virat Kohli departs after scoring just 1 run. Rohit Sharma scored 76 runs. He hit 7 fours and 3 sixes. The middle-order batsmen performed well in difficult times and led the team to victory.
New Zealand gave a tough fight
Batting first, New Zealand posted a competitive total of 251 runs. On a slow pitch, the Indian spinners bowled well, due to which New Zealand’s innings could not play completely freely. Daryl Mitchell scored 63 off 101 balls, while Michael Bracewell added a quickfire 53 off 40 balls. New Zealand had a good start, but the Indian spin bowlers made a great comeback, taking 5 important wickets within 38 overs. Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy took 2-2 wickets, while Ravindra Jadeja also got a breakthrough.
With this victory, the Indian team has completed 25 years of revenge. New Zealand defeated India in the final of the Champions Trophy in 2000. This time India won the match. Moreover, it was also a befitting reply to the loss to New Zealand in the 2019 ODI World Cup semi-final and the 2021 World Test Championship final.
India’s victory in the Champions Trophy has once again shown the strength of Team India in world cricket. Under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy, the team performed well and no team could defeat them during the tournament. The Indian team’s unbeaten run has been recorded in golden letters in cricket history. This is a proud moment not only for the players but also for the Indian cricket fans. Team India proved that they can face any challenge and have the ability to win even in difficult situations.
