Senior India batter Virat Kohli and Team India captain Rohit Sharma were ecstatic beyond measure as India defeated New Zealand by four wickets to win the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on March 9 (Sunday) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. Kohli and Rohit broke into joy as they pulled off a 'dandia' dance with stumps after the historic win by the Men in Blue. As Ravindra Jadeja hit the winning boundary to seal the triumph, Rohit and Kohli rushed onto the field, breaking into an impromptu celebratory dance.

With their Champions Trophy 2025 triumph, India secured two ICC titles within a year — having lifted the 2024 T20 World Cup under Rohit Sharma's captaincy before clinching the latest crown in Dubai.

While Kohli ended the tournament as India’s second-highest run-scorer, skipper Rohit top-scored in the final with a stunning 76 (83) which also won him the Player of the Match award.

Kiwis Give India Tough Fight For Champions Trophy 2025 Title

While India secured a four-wicket win, it did not come easy for Rohit Sharma & co. as New Zealand kept giving a tough fight till the last ball of the 49th over. 

After India’s spin duo of Kuldeep Yadav (2/40) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/45) restricted New Zealand to a modest 251, openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill provided a strong start with a 105-run stand. However, a flurry of middle-order dismissals, including Virat Kohli’s early departure for just one run, brought some pressure back on India. Shreyas Iyer’s crucial 48 and Axar Patel’s steady knock helped stabilize the innings. KL Rahul’s unbeaten 34 proved vital, and eventually, Ravindra Jadeja sealed the win with a boundary, triggering jubilant celebrations in the stadium.
