India made history on Sunday clinching their third ICC Champions Trophy title with a thrilling four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final in Dubai. A quickfire half-century from captain Rohit Sharma, crucial contributions from Shreyas Iyer, and stellar performances by spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav ensured a comprehensive triumph for Team India. President of India Draupadi Murmu extended her heartfelt congratulations to the team, acknowledging their remarkable achievement. India became the only team to win the Trophy thrice, and the players deserve the highest accolades for creating cricketing history, the President said in a post on her official X account. Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Team India on winning the Champions Trophy. Defence minister Rajnath Singh also praised India’s dominant performance and the inspiration it provides to young cricketers. In the match, New Zealand won the toss and chose to bat first. They got off to a solid start with a 57-run partnership between Will Young (15) and Rachin Ravindra (37 off 29 balls, including four boundaries and a six). However, Kuldeeps Yadav (2/40) put the brakes on their progress, reducing New Zealand to 75/3.
