Team India beat New Zealand by four wickets and won the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. With today's win, Rohit Sharma became the eighth skipper to win the Championship and the third Indian skipper in the history of the tournament to lift the trophy.
After being asked to bowl first, Team India managed to restrict New Zealand to a total of 251/7 in their 50 overs, with contributions from Daryl Mitchell (63 off 101) and Michael Bracewell (53 off 40). Rohit Sharma (77 off 86), Shreyas Iyer (48 off 62) and KL Rahul (34 off 33) chipped in with the bat in hand before Ravindra Jadeja capped the chase with a boundary.

With this win, India became the most successful side in the history of the Champions Trophy, having won three championships. The Men in Blue were joint champions alongside Sri Lanka in the 2002 edition of the tournament, with the final ending in a no result due to rain.
