Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday congratulated Team India on their magnificent triumph in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
India showcased their cricketing supremacy, emerging victorious in dominant fashion and reaffirming their place as the top-ranked side in both ODIs and T20Is.
From the very outset, the team pursued excellence, overcoming formidable challenges with a brand of cricket that was both fearless and disciplined. Their unbeaten run in an ICC tournament is a true reflection of their consistency, strategic execution, and hunger to succeed on the global stage.
The final against New Zealand was the perfect culmination of this journey - an exhibition of resilience and high-pressure mastery, according to an BCCI media release.
The BCCI extends its highest commendation to Captain Rohit Sharma, whose exemplary leadership and tactical acumen were instrumental in guiding the team to this historic achievement. His ability to inspire and lead by example played a defining role in India's victorious campaign. Notably, this marks India's second successive ICC title under his leadership in as many years, following the triumphant T20 World Cup 2024 victory.
These twin titles firmly establish his legacy as one of India’s finest and most successful captains.
The BCCI also lauds the role of Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, whose fearless approach and tactical insight were key to shaping this winning team. His emphasis on self-belief and strategic execution was evident in the way the players carried themselves throughout the competition.
The BCCI once again congratulates the players, coaching staff, support personnel and the selection committee for this phenomenal accomplishment.
Roger Binny, President, BCCI said: “This triumph is a landmark moment for Indian cricket, following the high of last year’s T20 World Cup success. To dominate yet another global tournament and bring home the Champions Trophy is a phenomenal achievement. The team has played with unparalleled consistency and character, and I congratulate captain Rohit Sharma, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir, and the entire squad for their historic success.”
Rajeev Shukla, Vice-President, BCCI said: “Winning an ICC title is always a special achievement, and this team has done it in dominant fashion. The seamless blend of experience and youthful energy has been remarkable, and this triumph will serve as inspiration for future generations of Indian cricket.”
