The Indian cricket team has once again stamped its authority on the world stage by winning ICC Champions Trophy 2025, securing their third title in the tournament's history. With victories in 2002, 2013, and now 2025, India stands as the most successful team in the history of Champions Trophy.

Facing New Zealand in CT 2025 final at Dubai Cricket Stadium, India chased down a target of 252 runs, finishing at 254/6 in 49 overs to seal a thrilling four-wicket victory.

Ravindra Jadeja's winning shot & Gangnam style celebration

It was Ravindra Jadeja who sealed the victory in style, hitting the winning four on the last ball of the 49th over. The moment triggered wild celebrations, with fans across the world erupting in joy.

As the Indian players rushed onto the field to celebrate, Jadeja, Harshit Rana, and Arshdeep Singh broke into the iconic Gangnam Style dance, recreating the 2013 Champions Trophy celebration when the Indian team, led by Virat Kohli, had danced to the same tune.

Jadeja's all-round impact

Ravindra Jadeja once again proved why he is one of India's most valuable players. With the ball, he delivered a brilliant 10-over spell, conceding just 30 runs and taking the crucial wicket of Tom Latham. With the bat, he remained unbeaten on 9 runs off 6 balls, including the final shot that secured India's win.

After winning the toss, New Zealand opted to bat first, putting up 251/7 in their 50 overs. India's bowlers kept the Kiwi batting lineup in check, with Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy taking two wickets each, while Mohammed Shami and Jadeja picked up one apiece.

India's chase was steady, with important contributions from multiple batters: Rohit Sharma – 76, Shreyas Iyer – 48, KL Rahul – 34* (not out), Shubman Gill – 31, Axar Patel – 29, Hardik Pandya – 18, Ravindra Jadeja – 9* (not out).

Jadeja's boundary on the last ball of the 49th over sealed India's win, sparking celebrations across the nation.
