The BCCI, the world's richest cricket board, announced an additional 580 million rupees for the players, support staff and members of the selection committee for their latest success in an International Cricket Council (ICC) tournament.
India played all their matches at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium after refusing to travel to host nation Pakistan. This decision meant that while other teams had to endure frequent travel, India remained stationed at a single venue throughout the tournament.
He also elaborated on what it is about the current India squad that keeps him wanting to be part of it, despite his 38th birthday approaching next month.
Over the last three ICC events, India have lost just one match -- the 2023 ODI World Cup final -- leading many to argue that they hardly needed what some have termed an “unfair advantage” of playing exclusively in Dubai.
The ninth edition of the Champions Trophy 2025 saw India being crowned as the winners on 9th March 2025 after they overcame New Zealand in the final. Several exceptional performers lit up the tournament with the bat and ball.
Gavaskar, in a recent interview, suggested that even India's second-string team could challenge Pakistan’s current squad, citing their lack of intent and bench strength.
Rohit was full of praise for Rahul's composure at the sharp end of the nerve-shredding chases."Look, when we discussed KL's batting position, that is one thing we discussed quite deeply about how calm he is when he is batting," Rohit said after guiding India to a third Champions Trophy crown.
The absence of PCB representatives was particularly glaring as ICC Chairman Jay Shah handed the coveted trophy to India’s victorious captain, Rohit Sharma, while BCCI President Roger Binny and secretary Devajit Saikia were present on the podium. This raised questions over whether PCB officials were deliberately sidelined or if internal board decisions led to their no-show.

In the grand finale against New Zealand, it was Rohit Sharma who led the charge with an authoritative knock, ensuring India’s successful chase. His composure under pressure set the stage for an emphatic victory.
New Zealand went down to India by four wickets in the title-decider in Dubai on Sunday, suffering a fourth loss in four short-format global finals over the last decade.
