India won the Champions Trophy on Sunday in Dubai after defeating New Zealand by four wickets. India pulled down New Zealand's 252-run goal with six balls remaining, aided by an unbeaten 34 from KL Rahul and a 48 from Shreyas Iyer in addition to a strong 76 from captain Rohit Sharma. Congratulating Team India for this victory, Prime Minister Narendra Modi posted on X that he is proud of the team for bringing the trophy home this year.
He posted, "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."
Home Minister Amit Shah too congratulated Team India. He posted on X a few photos of men in blue playing on the field with the caption, "A victory that scripts history. Congratulations to Team India on clinching a stunning victory in the ICC #ChampionsTrophy2025. Your fiery energy and unassailable dominance on the pitch made the nation proud, setting a new benchmark for cricketing excellence. May you always come off with flying colors."
India has now won three ICC Champions Trophy titles, including one with Sri Lanka in 2002 and other with 'Captain Cool' MS Dhoni in 2013.
