'Lehra Do' Moment For Team India As Rohit Sharma Leads His Men To Second Champions Trophy Win | WATCH
Rohit Sharma has guided India to another ICC title after a gap of eight months. India defeated New Zealand by four wickets to win CT 2025.
India have secured their second Champions Trophy title with a fourth wicket victory over New Zealand in the final in Dubai on Sunday. This is India's 7th ICC title and second Champions Trophy title.
Redemption Moment For Ravindra Jadeja
The match went to the wire and it was Ravindra Jadeja who hit the winning run. The southpaw hit a four off William O'Rourke and lifted his arms to blow a kiss.
Ravindra Jadeja reflected on his performance after the match. He said, “That is how it is with me; sometimes a hero, sometimes a zero. The wicket was not easy for a new batter. Hardik and KL were great. Winning the CT is a huge thing. If you don't win a big tournament after playing so long, it hurts.”
India Defeated New Zealand To Lift 2nd Champions Trophy Title
India have remained unbeaten in the Champions Trophy 2025 and Rohit Sharma also became the first Indian captain to win two ICC titles without losing a single match. After the disappointing performance in the Border Gavaskar Trophy, there was severe criticism of Team India.
But this historic win has cemented Rohit Sharma's legacy in cricket history forever.
Batting first, New Zealand posted 251 runs on the board riding on Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell's half centuries. India made a fantastic start courtesy of Riohit Sharma's quickfire innings. But the Blackcaps kept themselves in the hunt by taking wickets at regular intervals.
But in the end, the quality of Indian players proved to be a major difference as the Men In Blue registered their first win over The Kiwis in an ICC final game.
