Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan was the first to predict the victory for team India. The IIFA green carpet reverberated with cheers and good wishes from Hindi film artists. New Zealand barely managed to touch the rope of 250 runs as they posted a score of 251 runs for the loss of 7 wickets at the board. India won the contest comfortably by 4 wickets, netting their third title win of Champions Trophy. With this, it became the first team to win 3 Champions Trophy, moving ahead of Australia which now has 2 title wins in the tournament. The skipper led from the front, smashing 76 runs from 83 balls. The fan-favourite Virat Kohli put up a dismal performance as he scored just 1 run before he was sent back to the pavilion by Michael Bracewell. The Indian skipper, who has only scored 264 runs in his ODI career, is now having victory in his jewels in his 13th Champions Trophy Final. The team is also the team with the most seats in the Champions Trophy Finals over the years with 5 times.
