After 12 years, India’s victory in the Champions Trophy has added a new chapter to cricket history. In 2017, Pakistan defeated India in the final. Earlier in 2013, India won this title match. India then defeated England in the final under Dhoni’s captaincy. In 2002, India and Sri Lanka became joint winners. In this way, India has named this ICC trophy for the third time on Sunday. With this victory, World Cup- The gum of defeat from Australia in his own house in 2023 has also reduced. India has won all the matches without losing any match. We also broke his conceit by defeating Australia in the semi -finals, which was shown by his team in Ahmedabad in the final of the World Cup. The entire Team India has performed amazing by honoring the Kangaroo team. The thrill of the match against Pakistan speaks with his head. And, this time also our team has taught him a good lesson by defeating him.
Although being the previous champion, Pakistan was the host of this tournament, but India played all their matches in Dubai. Since India refused to go to Pakistan for security reasons, the Indian team accepted their matches in Dubai under an agreement. Pakistan’s heartfelt desire was that India’s team came to its country. He argued that we went to India in 2023 to play World Cup matches, so what is the problem for India to come to Pakistan? However, the Government of India did not allow its team to go there. Actually, Pakistan has always been a victim of terrorist attacks. No foreign team went to play for about ten years. Then there is more bitterness about India. For these reasons, India refused to go there.

India has played in Dubai before. Team India gets full support from the audience there. IPL has also been organized in Arab country during Kovid. It is a suitable place for India and Pakistan as a neutral country. However, this time spin bowling danced to the batsmen at Dubai stadium. People were surprised when five spin bowlers were selected in the Indian team. Seeing the nature of the pitch, India kept four spinners in their XI after the first two matches. This decision proved to be a trump card. In the league match against New Zealand, Varun Chakraborty proved this decision correct by taking five wickets. India’s spin quartet Akshar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun weaved a trap around the opposition teams in which they got trapped.
Four spinners are not usually fed in a 50 -over match. But the use of India was very successful. In the final match too, Kuldeep broke New Zealand’s back by dismissing Rachin Ravindra and Williamson soon. If both of them had tired, they would have made a big score, then India would have presented a tough challenge. Varun has proved his utility by taking 9 wickets in three matches. At the same time, Akshar Patel has fitted himself in the role of all -rounder. In the batting order, there was a lot of benefit of sending the letter up. His contribution will always be remembered. Shreyas Iyer strengthened the team by performing effectively in the middle order. Shubman Gill scored a century against Bangladesh and Virat Kohli against Pakistan. KL was worried about Rahul’s failure, but washed the stain during the semi -final and final match. Hardik Pandya made the target easier by putting big shots. In this way, this victory has been won by everyone’s contribution. It would not be appropriate to give credit to any one player.
The target of 252 runs in the final match was not very big, but the New Zealand team made it difficult with their brilliant fielding. India had to lose some wickets, otherwise it would have won easily. Nobody knows what happens in the game of cricket. We all saw how the situation changed after a hundred run opening partnership between captain Rohit and Gill. Virat Kohli, who is called ‘Chase Master’, continued to score a run. The New Zealand team covered India for runs by tight fielding. This is the same team that defeated India in the final of the 2000 Champion Trophy. It was then held in Kenya.
Captain Rohit Sharma has responded to critics by winning two consecutive ICC Trophy. Let us tell you that in June last year, his team gave the country a T20 World Cup. There was also a rumor in Dubai that Rohit is going to retire from ODI format. However, he himself denied it. It should be expected that he will continue to play for India till the World Cup-2027. Rohit was questioned due to extremely poor performance in Test matches during the Border -Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. However, this victory has covered him.
The whole team played and played such a huge success. Today the whole country is proud. This ‘Virat Vijay’ is also going to provide relief for the team’s head coach Gautam Gambhir. Last year, Gambhir’s working style was being questioned after the domestic Test series from New Zealand and the crushing defeat in Australia. The next challenge is the Test series in England. After the IPL, Team India has to go to England. It has to be seen how India’s performance is there.
