India versus New Zealand Highlights, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Final:
Leading by example with a superb half-century, Skipper Rohit Sharma helped India to keep their composure and claim an unparalleled third Champions Trophy,defeating New Zealand by four wickets on Sunday.
After Rohit lost his 12th straight toss, Indiaโs spinners put on a masterclass that limits New Zealand to 251/7 in 50 overs. Applying the brakes on the Kiwi batting lineup was much helped by Kuldeep Yadav (2/40) and Varun Chakaravarthy (2/45).
Thanks to important contributions from Rohit (76 off 83) and Shreyas Iyer (48 off 62), India over the line with six balls to spare.
With 63 off 101, Michael Bracewell (53* off 40), and Rachin Ravindra (37 off 29), Daryl Mitchell (63 off 101), was the best batsman for New Zealand.
India had a few uncomfortable times in the chase, particularly following their comfortably positioned 183/3 in the 38th over. Supported by a fastfire 18 from Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul (34* off 33) showed amazing calm to lead the side home.
With this triumph, India finished a perfect campaign and stayed unbeaten all through the competition, therefore attesting to their supremacy.
India now stands alone among teams having lifted the esteemed trophy three times, having first won the Champions Trophy in 2002 and 2013.
Wishing all the best to our Indian Cricket team for this triumph and hope the same for the future endeavors.
