Cricket is often celebrated for individual brilliance, but championships are won by teams. India’s 2025 Champions Trophy victory was not about one star—it was a triumph of collective effort, resilience, and belief. Twelve years after their last title, India stood tall again, defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the final, reaffirming their dominance in world cricket.
An exceptional game and an exceptional result!

Throughout the tournament, different players stepped up at crucial moments. Shreyas Iyer emerged as India’s highest run-scorer, finishing with 243 runs at an average of 48.60. His ability to absorb pressure and play vital knocks showcased the depth in India’s batting. It was a campaign where the younger generation proved they were ready to carry the team forward.

The journey to the title was also a story of redemption. After a challenging tour of Australia, the team was determined to bounce back, and they did so with an unbeaten run in the tournament. The experienced players provided the foundation, but it was the contributions across the squad that made the difference.
The final reflected this team-first mentality. Rohit Sharma’s 76 set the platform, but when quick wickets fell, Axar Patel, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja ensured India got across the line.
India’s golden era in world cricket continues—not just built on talent, but on trust, teamwork, and an unbreakable spirit.
