On March 11, Team India returned home after clinching the Champions Trophy for the second time. Led by captain Rohit Sharma, the team triumphed over New Zealand in the final on March 9 to secure the prestigious title.

Yuzvendra Chahal was spotted cheering for India at the ICC Champions Trophy final, accompanied by RJ Mahavash, sparking rumors. Mahavash jokingly called herself "good luck" for the team after their victory. She shared moments from the match on Instagram, including celebratory videos and fireworks. The two, who have known each other since a 2022 interview, were first linked in December. Chahal, married to Dhanashree Verma in 2020, has not commented on rumors of their separation.
