India has secured its third ICC Champions Trophy title after defeating New Zealand in the 2025 final, etching a new chapter in cricket history. This win follows their previous triumphs in 2002 (joint-winners with Sri Lanka) and 2013 (beating England), making them one of the most successful teams in the tournament's history.

India's road to victory was dominant - undefeated in the group stage and a commanding semi-final win over Australia. In the final, key performances from Varun Chakaravarthy, Shreyas Iyer, and Rohit Sharma guided the team to glory. With this win, India has finally broken its ICC final curse against New Zealand, a team they had never beaten in a major final before.

For captain Rohit Sharma, this victory cements his legacy, making him only the second Indian skipper to win two ICC titles. The triumph reaffirms India's supremacy in limited-overs cricket and adds another milestone to their illustrious cricketing journey.
