Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended heartfelt congratulations to Team India after their triumphant victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final, securing a four-wicket win against New Zealand in Dubai on March 9. With this historic achievement, India lifted the Champions Trophy for a record third time, surpassing Australia in the tournament’s history.
A Dominant Performance in Dubai
As the match reached its thrilling conclusion at the Dubai International Stadium, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja sealed the win with a perfect pull shot behind square leg, sending Indian fans into a frenzy. PM Modi promptly took to X (formerly Twitter) to applaud the team’s outstanding performance and unwavering spirit.
“An exceptional game and an exceptional result! Proud of our cricket team for bringing home the ICC Champions Trophy. They’ve played wonderfully through the tournament. Congratulations to our team for the splendid all-around display.” — PM Narendra Modi
India Creates Champions Trophy History
With this victory, India etched their name in cricket history by becoming the only team to win the ICC Champions Trophy three times. Their previous titles came in 2002 (shared with Sri Lanka) and 2013 under MS Dhoni’s captaincy.
The win marks another feather in Rohit Sharma’s captaincy cap, coming just eight months after leading India to their second T20 World Cup title in Barbados. India’s dominance in ICC white-ball tournaments has been unparalleled in recent years. Since their 2023 ODI World Cup final loss to Australia, the Men in Blue have played 23 matches across three ICC limited-overs tournaments, suffering just one defeat—in the CWC final.
India’s white-ball supremacy under Rohit Sharma continues to set new benchmarks. Their impressive run in ICC events showcases a well-balanced squad, blending experienced players with rising stars. With their latest triumph in Dubai, India reaffirms their status as a global cricketing powerhouse.
As the celebrations continue, cricket fans across the nation rejoice in India’s Champions Trophy 2025 success, a victory that further cements their legacy in the sport’s rich history.
