BCCI has hailed the Indian cricket team’s unbeaten title run at the 2025 Champions Trophy in Dubai. India, captained by Rohit Sharma, defeated New Zealand in the final on Sunday to win the title for the third time and became the most successful team in the competition’s 28-year history.
India chased down a tricky target of 252 in 49 overs riding on Rohit’s 76 to beat New Zealand by four wickets in the final.
BCCI president and member of India’s 1983 World Cup winning squad Roger Binny termed the triumph as a “landmark moment” in a statement.
“This triumph is a landmark moment for Indian cricket, following the high of last year’s T20 World Cup success,” Binny said. “To dominate yet another global tournament and bring home the Champions Trophy is a phenomenal achievement. The team has played with unparalleled consistency and character, and I congratulate captain Rohit Sharma, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, and the entire squad for their historic success.”
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia pointed out the team’s resilience in crunch situations.
“This victory is a testament to the talent and perseverance of Indian cricket. The way this team has performed under pressure and delivered in crucial moments is truly commendable. Congratulations to every player, the support staff, selection committee and the fans who have stood by the team,” he said.
BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla said the title run will serve as an inspiration to the next generation.
“Winning an ICC title is always a special achievement, and this team has done it in dominant fashion. The seamless blend of experience and youthful energy has been remarkable, and this triumph will serve as inspiration for future generations of Indian cricket,” Shukla said.
In a statement, BCCI praised Rohit’s “exemplary leadership”, branding him as one of India’s “finest and most successful captains”.
The board also lauded head coach Gautam Gambhir’s “fearless approach and tactical insight”.
