India won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, led by Rohit Sharma`s 76 runs, defeating New Zealand.

India triumphed in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, defeating New Zealand by four wickets in a thrilling final held in Dubai. Chasing a target of 252 runs, India showcased their batting prowess, successfully reaching the target with six balls to spare. Rohit Sharma led the charge with a vital 76 runs, while Shreyas Iyer added 48 runs to the scoreboard. KL Rahul remained unbeaten at 34, ensuring a steady finish to the innings.

The Indian bowling attack, particularly the spinners, played a crucial role in the victory. Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy each claimed two wickets, stifling New Zealand`s scoring opportunities. Despite a commendable effort from New Zealand`s Michael Bracewell, who scored a quickfire 53 off 40 balls, it was not enough to secure a win for his team.

This victory marks India`s third Champions Trophy title and highlights their unbeaten run throughout the tournament. Cricket legend Wasim Akram praised the team`s strong leadership and depth in talent. However, celebrations will be muted as the Indian Premier League season is set to commence shortly.
