"India Triumphs: 2025 ICC Cricket World Cup Champions!"

India's journey in the 2025 Champions Trophy was nothing short of exemplary. Opting to play all their matches in Dubai due to the hybrid model of the tournament, they showcased adaptability and resilience. The team remained unbeaten throughout the competition, securing victories in all three group-stage matches before advancing to the semifinals. Their consistent performance set the stage for a thrilling final against New Zealand.

                     On March 9, 2025, India faced New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final at the Dubai International Stadium. Winning the toss, New Zealand elected to bat first. However, India's bowlers, led by the experienced Mohammed Shami, restricted them to a modest total of 230 runs. Shami's disciplined bowling was instrumental in curbing New Zealand's run flow. In response, India encountered early setbacks, losing key wickets, including captain Rohit Sharma and star batsman Virat Kohli, within the first 15 overs. However, a resilient partnership between Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul stabilized the innings. Their combined efforts brought India closer to the target. Hardik Pandya's late surge ensured that India chased down the total with four wickets in hand, clinching the title. Rohit Sharma's captaincy has been pivotal in India's recent successes. Under his leadership, India has reached the finals in three consecutive ICC events, winning two of them—the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2025 Champions Trophy. Despite speculations about his retirement from the 50-over format, Rohit clarified his intentions to continue, emphasizing his commitment to the team's future endeavors.

            India's journey in ICC tournaments has seen significant milestones. Starting with their maiden World Cup win in 1983 under Kapil Dev, they have amassed multiple titles over the decades. The 2025 Champions Trophy victory marked their third title in this tournament, making them the most successful team in Champions Trophy history. This win also positioned Rohit Sharma alongside MS Dhoni as the only Indian captains with multiple ICC trophies.
