India etched their name into cricket history once again, securing the Champions Trophy 2025 title with a hard-fought four-wicket victory over New Zealand in a thrilling final at the Dubai International Stadium. Chasing a challenging 252, India’s triumph, sealed with six balls to spare, marked their third win in the tournament’s 💫storied legacy—foll𒁏owing successes in 2002 (shared with Sri Lanka) and 2013—and capped an unbeaten campaign that reaffirmed their supremacy in the 50-over format.
Rohit Sharma stars in India’s super win
The night began with New Zealand putting up a competitive 251/8 in their 50 overs. On a pitch offering subtle assistance to bowlers, the Kiwi batters, led by a gritty middle-order effort from Daryl Mitchell, set a target that promised a contest. India’s bowling attack featuring Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy kept the runs in ch🅠eck. T🎉he total, though not towering, loomed large under the pressure of a final.
India’s chase started brilliantly, thanks to Rohit Sharma’s he𓄧roics. The Indian captain, leading from the front, smashed a sensational knock of 76 runs from 83 balls, with the help of 7 fours and 3 sixes. His knock played a vital part in India’s successful chase.
Though the game did hang in the balance when New Zealand bagged three wickets, but Shreyas Iyer stepped up with a composed 48 off 52 balls. His inn🎉ings, laced with elegant drives and calculated aggression, steadied the ship and forged key partnerships. India eventually crossed the finish line in the 49th over, sparking scenes of jubil🃏ation across the stadium and beyond.
