🏏 Champions Trophy 2025 Final: India vs New Zealand
India’s title-winning performance was built on stellar performances across departments.
✔️ Varun Chakravarthy & Kuldeep Yadav’s spin brilliance dismantled New Zealand’s batting lineup.
✔️ Rohit Sharma’s explosive 76 (83) set the tone for the chase.
✔️ Shreyas Iyer (48) & KL Rahul (34)* ensured there were no late stumbles, guiding India to victory.
🌍 Can Any Team Challenge India’s Dominance?
With back-to-back ICC tournament victories, India has raised the bar for white-ball cricket. However, close games in the ODI World Cup final (vs. Australia) and T20 World Cup semi-final (vs. South Africa) show that challenges still exist.
As teams prepare for the next ICC cycle, who can match India’s depth, balance, and relentless dominance?
