India defeated New Zealand by four wickets to win the 2025 iteration of the Champions Trophy on Sunday, adding a seventh ICC trophy to their cabinet while registering their third win in this eight-team event.

India have been one of the best teams in world cricket having made it to knockout stages consistently, including entering the summit clashes in 2003 ODI World Cup, 2017 Champions Trophy, 2023 ODI World Cup and twice in the finals of the World Test Championship in the 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles.
