The thrill of victory lingers, especially when it’s a monumental win like India’s triumph over New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Can you believe it’s been over a decade since India last lifted this prestigious trophy? Under the charismatic leadership of Rohit Sharma, Team India clinched their second Champions Trophy title, marking a historic moment in Indian cricket history. The nail-biting final ended with a four-wicket victory, sending fans into a frenzy and igniting celebrations across the country.
On the day of the final, as India basked in the glory of their hard-earned victory, star wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant took to social media to share a glimpse of the euphoric atmosphere in the dressing room. His video captured the essence of the celebrations—from hearty laughter to candid exchanges, creating a sense of camaraderie that fans truly cherish. The highlight? A humorous interaction between Pant and Sharma, providing a peek into the team’s light-hearted spirit.
In the video, Pant playfully asked Rohit, ‘Bhaiya, ye stump leke kahaan jaa rahe ho?’ to which Rohit, all smiles, responded, ‘Kya? Retirement le lu? Har baar jeetenge to har baar thodi retirement leta rahunga?’ It was a moment that perfectly encapsulated the joy of the moment; Sharma, having just led the team to glory, wasn’t ready to hang up his boots just yet.
With this trophy, Sharma not only added another feather to his cap but also rekindled the flame of hope among fans who remember the last time India won the ICC Champions Trophy back in 2013 under MS Dhoni’s leadership. After winning the T20 World Cup in 2024, this latest victory marks Rohit’s second ICC title as captain, solidifying his status among the greats of the game.
Looking ahead, both Rohit and the legendary Virat Kohli will be preparing for the ODI series against Australia in October, signaling that their cricketing journey isn’t over yet. With the momentum on their side, fans are eagerly anticipating their return to the field and what future victories may hold.
