Internet Erupts as India Clinches Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai

Cricket fans across the world are celebrating as Team India lifts the Champions Trophy 2025, marking their third title in the tournament’s history. This thrilling victory against New Zealand has sent shockwaves of excitement across the nation, with social media flooded with congratulatory messages.

India Becomes the First Team to Win Three Champions Trophies

With this triumph, India surpasses Australia, becoming the only team to win the Champions Trophy three times. Their previous victories came in 2002 (shared with Sri Lanka) and 2013 under MS Dhoni’s leadership. This win solidifies India’s dominance in white-ball cricket.

Rohit Sharma Joins MS Dhoni in Elite List of Captains

Rohit Sharma has now etched his name alongside MS Dhoni as the only Indian captain to have won multiple ICC men’s white-ball trophies. His leadership, calmness under pressure, and ability to make tactical decisions played a crucial role in this victory.

A Thrilling Final Against New Zealand

New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first on a dry Dubai pitch. Rachin Ravindra, coming off a brilliant semi-final performance, started aggressively, taking on Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya. However, India’s spin attack turned the tide quickly.

India’s Spin Quartet Takes Control

Rohit Sharma introduced spin early, bringing in Varun Chakravarthy, who castled Will Young. Kuldeep Yadav’s magical wrong’un dismissed Rachin Ravindra, swinging the momentum in India’s favor. With Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel keeping things tight, New Zealand struggled to accelerate.

Kane Williamson’s dismissal for 11 was a major setback, as he failed to counter India’s spin web. Tom Latham and Daryl Mitchell tried to rebuild, but the required acceleration never came.

Michael Bracewell’s Lone Resistance

Michael Bracewell provided a late boost for New Zealand with a quick 53 off 40 balls. However, his efforts weren’t enough as Shami dismissed Mitchell in the 46th over, restricting New Zealand to a total of 251.

Rohit Sharma’s Masterclass in the Chase

Rohit Sharma led from the front, smashing a brilliant 76. Despite losing Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli early, he anchored the innings. Shreyas Iyer contributed with a solid 48 before KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya took charge.

The chase took a dramatic turn when Hardik Pandya fell in the death overs, making the match tense. However, KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja held their nerves to take India across the finish line in the 49th over.

Fans Celebrate Across the Nation

As soon as the winning runs were hit, celebrations erupted across India. Social media platforms were flooded with messages from cricketing legends, celebrities, and fans expressing their pride.

A victory that scripts history.
