Team India made history by becoming the first team to win three ICC Champions Trophy titles. They triumphed over New Zealand in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai, securing their second ICC title within just nine months.
This victory marked Rohit Sharma’s second ICC title as captain. It was also India’s third consecutive appearance in the Champions Trophy final. India clinched the 2013 title under MS Dhoni’s leadership, but fell short in 2017 under Virat Kohli’s captaincy.
Several players from the current squad were part of the 2013 victory when India defeated England in the final to lift the trophy. These players were also integral to the 2025 triumph
