In what turned out to be a memorable Sunday evening in Dubai, India won the Champions Trophy 2025 after beating New Zealand in the Final. The Men In Blue clinched yet another ICC trophy, reclaiming the Champions Trophy title which they last won back in 2013.

It was a complete team effort under the leadership of Rohit Sharma which led India to their third Champions Trophy glory in history. While every player in the squad played their roles quite beautifully, KL Rahul deserves a special mention, who won his first ICC trophy in his career.

KL Rahul Clutch Finishes Invaluable In India's Triumph

Rahul, known for being calm and composed in tough circumstances, delivered impactful knocks with the bat in this Champions Trophy when the team needed him the most. His ability to adapt, stabilize the innings under pressure and attack when needed, ensured India never fell behind with the bat.

Two of his crucial knocks came in the knockout stage where his composed and calculated finishes in both semi-final and final made sure India go over the line without breaking any sweat. After the thrilling victory, Rahul took to his Instagram handle to share his feelings of victory.

Biting Into Glory: The KL Rahul Way

In a heartfelt post, Rahul posted a picture of him biting his winners’ medal and another one where his white coat, medal, and jersey was laying on the pitch alongside the prestigious Champions Trophy silverware. He captioned the moment as “Slowly sinking in”, perfectly describing the sheer joy and relief of winning his first ICC title.

Rahul, who has often been criticized by pundits and trolled online by fans over the years, has finally made his doubters eat their words. For someone like him who has always been targeted harshly for everything, this victory was the ultimate redemption.

And Rahul’s choice of showcasing his medal, white coat and the jersey on the pitch was a perfect reply to the critics, highlighting his hard-fought battle leading up to this moment of glory. That social media which always used to be critical towards Rahul, is now erupted with fans appreciating him for his crucial contribution to team India's triumph.
