India won the ICC Champions Trophy in Dubai, securing their third title and reinforcing their dominance in white-ball cricket. Skipper Rohit Sharma led from the front, scoring a crucial 76 runs, as India defeated New Zealand by four wickets in a tense final. This marks India’s second consecutive global title following their T20 World Cup win.
India remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, winning 22 of their last 23 ICC matches, with their only recent loss coming against Australia in the 2023 ODI World Cup final. However, controversy arose as India played all their matches in Dubai, while other teams had to travel between Pakistan and UAE. Critics argue this gave them an unfair advantage, especially with their spin-heavy strategy.
Despite the conditions, New Zealand fought hard, with Mitchell Santner’s team delivering a spirited performance in their first ICC final under his captaincy. However, India’s dominant display, backed by their spinners and passionate crowd support, ensured they lifted the trophy once again.
