On the first ball of the 27th over, Rohit danced down the track in an attempt to hit a maximum but then he got beaten off Rachin Ravindra’s delivery and got stumped. Ahead of getting out, the Indian team skipper faced 11 consecutive dot balls and he looked under pressure.

New Zealand opener Ravindra was adjudged the Player of the Tournament after finishing as the highest run-scorer of Champions Trophy 2025. He racked up 263 runs from four matches at an incredible average of 65.75. His tally includes two record-breaking centuries. No other batter crossed the 250-run mark.

India rode on Rohit Sharma's captain's knock on the big day and an all-round effort from their spinners to beat New Zealand by four wickets. India were crowned the Champions of Champions for the third time in history.
