In what transpired to be a memorable night for Indian Cricket, team India clinched yet another ICC title as the Rohit Sharma-led side beat New Zealand in the Champions Trophy Final on Sunday, in Dubai. It's India’s third Champions Trophy title in history and first since winning in the year 2013.

After India’s thrilling win the entire sea of blue erupted into joyous celebration at the Dubai International Stadium. The players danced, clicked pictures, threw champaigns and seemed lost in the glory of the hard-fought victory, reclaiming the title after 12 years.

No 'Gangnam Style' Celebration From Kohli This Time

In between India’s celebration, there was one particular moment which caught the eyes of many when fast bowler Harshit Rana requested Virat Kohli to replicate the iconic dance and push-up celebration he did after the 2013 Champions Trophy win in Birmingham, However, Kohli, known for being much calm and graceful nowadays, politely decline Rana’s request.


The 2013 Champions Trophy victory under captain MS Dhoni was a historic moment for Indian cricket and one of the standout moments that etched in the people’s memory forever is Kohli’s epic celebration after lifting the title. Fast forward to 2025, India’s young brigade led the celebration, reflecting their joy to bring the Champions Trophy back home after 12 years.

India Reclaims Glory

India’s Champions Trophy 2025 win is not just another tournament win. The Men In Blue were a dominant force throughout the competition, being the only side to remain unbeaten. It was a testament of strength and unity of the team that led team India to glory.

Right from the first match against Bangladesh, each and every player, from the veterans to the emerging stars, contributed whenever the team needed. With this victory, India not only got their hands on the Champions Trophy title but also sent a strong message to the cricketing world about their dominance in limited-overs cricket in the coming years.
