India won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 by beating New Zealand in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday. Here we present you the highlights of the contest: 

*India became the first team to win the Champions Trophy three times (joint-winners in 2002 with Sri Lanka, in 2013, and in 2025)

*After losing the toss in the final, India captain Rohit Sharma's unlucky streak in the coin toss in ODIs tallied to 12 on the trot – the joint-most by a captain along with West Indies' Brian Lara.

*India's spinners accounted for 26 out of the 47 wickets they took in the tournament – a percentage of 55.32.

*Rohit's 83-ball 76 was the second 50-plus score in a Champions Trophy final by an Indian captain, after Sourav Ganguly's 117 against New Zealand in 2000. It is also the second-highest score by a captain in the final of a Champions Trophy.

*76 is Rohit's highest in any ODI final, bettering his 66 against Australia in the 2008 CB series final at the SCG.

*Virat Kohli has now managed just one fifty (in the 2023 World Cup final) in the 10 ODI finals he has played in. The batting maestro averages just 23.22 and strikes it at below 80 on such stages.

*The 105-run stand between Rohit and Shubman Gill is only the third instance of an opening duo putting together a century-run stand in a Champions Trophy final, after Ganguly and Tendulkar's 141-run stand against New Zealand in 2000 and a 128-run partnership between Azhar Ali and Fakhar Zaman in 2017.

*India's spin quartet bowled 38 overs in the final – the third most bowled by India spinners in an ODI. The most bowled by India spinners was when they bowled 41.2 overs against the West Indies in Indore in 2011.

*India's spinners bowled 37.3 percent of their balls projected to hit the stumps - the highest by them in the five innings this tournament - and picked 5/50 off those deliveries.

*India dropped nine chances in this campaign - the most by any team. Only Bangladesh (66.6) and Pakistan (60) have a worse catching efficiency than India (70%) in this tournament.

*New Zealand's score in the Powerplay - 69/1 – is the joint-highest Powerplay score in the Dubai matches in the tournament. India had got exactly that against Bangladesh in their opening match.
