India won the icc champions trophy final 2025

A Sunday night in Dubai, the stadium packed, and the air buzzing with excitement. India took on New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 final, and what a show it was! Led by captain Rohit Sharma, who smashed 76 runs, India chased down 252 with five wickets in hand and plenty of overs left. After 12 long years, the trophy’s back with India, and fans can’t stop cheering. This wasn’t just a game—it was a night of joy, teamwork, and a captain proving he’s the boss when it counts.

New Zealand Sets the Target

The match started with New Zealand batting first after winning the toss. They put up 251 runs before losing 7 wickets, a decent score on a pitch that wasn’t easy. Two of their players, Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell, scored half-centuries, keeping their hopes alive. But India’s bowlers weren’t letting them off easy. Kuldeep Yadav spun the ball like magic to take two wickets, and Mohammed Shami bowled fast to grab another. By the end, New Zealand had something to defend, but India was ready to chase.

Rohit Starts Strong

Out came Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill to open for India. The crowd was loud, waving flags, and Rohit didn’t disappoint. He hit a six off the very first over, showing he meant business. Gill stuck with him, and together they raced to 105 runs without losing a wicket. Rohit was on fire—hitting seven fours and three sixes, reaching 76 runs off 83 balls. He got to his fifty in just 41 balls, making it look easy with shots all around the ground. The fans chanted his name, loving every minute.

Then came a twist. New Zealand’s captain, Mitchell Santner, bowled a tricky one, and Gill was caught out for 31. Soon after, Virat Kohli walked in but got out for just 1, trapped by Bracewell. India lost two quick wickets, going from 105 for 0 to 106 for 2. The game got tense, and Rohit knew he had to keep things steady.

A Captain’s Exit, A Team’s Fight

Rohit kept batting smartly, mixing singles with big hits. But in the 26th over, New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra got him. Rohit danced down the pitch, missed the ball, and the wicketkeeper whipped off the bails—out for 76. India was 122 for 3, and the crowd held its breath. Could they finish what Rohit started?

Shreyas Iyer stepped up next, scoring 48 runs with calm and focus. The runs kept coming, but New Zealand’s bowlers fought back, trying to slow things down. Then KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya took over. Rahul stayed not out on 40, playing smooth shots, while Pandya blasted 23 runs, including a huge six that had everyone jumping. With 35 balls still left, India crossed the line at 255 for 4—six wickets in hand, job done.

A Win for the Ages

This wasn’t just Rohit’s night—everyone played a part. The bowlers kept New Zealand in check, and the batsmen finished strong. “We worked as a team,” Rohit said after, holding the trophy high. “It feels amazing to win this after so long.” It’s India’s third Champions Trophy, tying with Australia, and their first since 2013. New Zealand’s Santner smiled and said, “India were better today—Rohit was awesome.”

Fans went wild online, posting things like “Rohit’s 76 was pure gold!” and “Champions again!” After 12 years, India’s back on top, and the party’s just starting. What a way to end the weekend—don’t you think?
