India reigns supreme

Dubai International Stadium: Indian fans flocked to social media on Sunday night to celebrate the nation’s third Champions Trophy title after a four-wicket win over New Zealand in the final at the Dubai International Stadium.

After a fast start by skipper Rohit Sharma, India were put in a spot of bother by the quick dismissals of Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli. With the Kiwis' spinner working their magic, building pressure on the Indian batters, Rohit soon followed his deputy to the pavilion. Shreyas Iyer and Axar Patel’s patient 61-run stand pulled India back before the duo fell soon after. Hardik Pandya’s clutch power-hitting and K.L. Rahul’s ability to rotate the strike and find the gaps propelled India to a famous victory.

"CHAMPIONS TROPHY 2025 INDIA REIGNS SUPREME! Captain Rohit Sharma leads from the front with a majestic 76, guiding India to a glorious victory! The Men in Blue shine bright, lifting the trophy in style! INDIA – THE UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS!," posted a user on X.
