Champions Trophy: Couldn't Finish In 2017, Very Pleased To Have Done It Here, Says Pandya
Dubai International Stadium: After finishing as runners-up in the last edition in 2017, all-rounder Hardik Pandya said he is happy the Indian team emerged as the winner this time to lift their third Champions Trophy title after a four-wicket win over New Zealand in the final at Dubai International Stadium here on Sunday.
It was India's third consecutive final in the tournament, and they became the first team to achieve this feat. In the 2017 Champions Trophy, India missed out on winning their second consecutive title as they fell short against arch-rivals Pakistan in the final.
However, this time, fortune favoured India as Rohit Sharma top-scored with 76 while Shreyas Iyer (48), KL Rahul (34 not out), and Hardik Pandya (18) chipped in with important contributions to take the side over the line in the chase of 252.
