Champions Trophy 2025

Kohli and Rahul both clicked in this tournament and India are happy world champion after 12 years!

Good show by India but it was painful to watch the Indian batting. They have pretty much lost the art of ODI batting which is a disgrace to the land of MSD and Kohli- no nudge and run singles (until Pandya finally got one), no twos hitting softly to the deep and/or running hard (until Jadeja got two of them in the very end), not even attempting to convert ones to twos and twos to threes in a big ground, penchant for unnecessary big hitting to get out (at least 4 of them) and so on.
These are the reasons why Rahul probably had to say "I was shi$ting myself at the end" instead of a clinical win!

I agree. It was painful to see easily scorable 2 runs let go when the target was very much reachable within 45 overs. They won at the end but they made it look like a big target to chase! MoM Rohit and Gill gave team a good start at first 10 overs else they would have gotten out due to pressure of high run rate at the end and their attempt to hit sixers !!

Anyways Congrats to India for winning second major international tournament(T2OI and CT) after losing WC finals in front of home crowd!!
