India beat New Zealand by six wickets to win ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Rohit Sharma top-scored with 76 as India overhauled New Zealand’s target of 252. Michael Bracewell (53 off 40 balls) took his team beyond 250. Shreyas Iyer’s 48 and a composed unbeaten 34 from KL Rahul ensured that India added the Champions Trophy to the T20 World Cup crown they won in the USA and the Caribbean last June. New Zealand got off to a storming start, with Rachin Ravindra – the Player of the Tournament – striking four fours and a six in a 29-ball 37. Daryl Mitchell, who had blazed a six-filled century against India in the 2023 World Cup semi-final, plodded through 101 balls for his 63. Glenn Phillips was also kept relatively quiet in his 34 (52 balls) Ravindr Jadeja finished things off, as India once again affirmed that they are very much the cream of the white-ball crop.
