India wins the 2025 Champions Trophy: The Men in Blue defeated New Zealand and won their third Champions Trophy after chasing down 252 runs, led by captain Rohit Sharma’s 76 and a late partnership between KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya.
India defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets in the CT 2025 final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, completing a 12-year wait to win a record-extending third Champions Trophy championship.
Since Kapil Dev’s “Devils” won the 1983 World Cup at Lord’s, India has won seven ICC titles, including the Champions Trophy. After Australia’s record ten titles, the squad has now won two T20 World Cups, three CTs, and two CWCs. In addition, Rohit became just the second Indian captain to win multiple ICC titles, following MS Dhoni.
