Also, the most often made a record of making this trophy in its name.

About 9 months ago, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, Team India won the T20 World Cup title and ended the drought for years. That victory not only finished the wait but increased the hunger of Team India. Its impact was seen in the Champions Trophy, where Rohit's team again performed strongly throughout the tournament and captured the title without losing any match.

Spinners curb batsmen

Indian captain Rohit Sharma lost the toss once again at Dubai International Stadium, but the result also happened after losing the toss in the last 4 matches.

Once again, Indian spinners rein in the speed of runs and gave the team a success. Varun Chakraborty (2/45) gave the first success while Kuldeep Yadav (2/40) did the real Kamal. Kuldeep, who is facing criticism due to lack of continuity in his bowling throughout the tournament, bowled Rachin Ravindra (37) on the very first ball. Then he also got the wicket of Kane Williamson in the very next over.

After this, Daril Mitchell (63) handled New Zealand's innings, while he also met Glenn Philips (34). But the New Zealand team could have piled up a little more quickly, if Team India had not dropped the catch of these two batsmen.

Overall, India dropped 4 catches in this final. Nevertheless, Indian spinners did not allow New Zealand to take advantage of them much from tight bowling. Finally, Michael Bracewell scored 53 runs (not out) in just 40 balls and took the team to a worth 251 runs.

Rohit showed fire in the final

Team India expected a big innings from his captain Rohit in this final and was also needed. In the entire tournament, there was no big innings with Rohit's bat and at the same time he could not score any half -century in the final matches.

At the same time, speculation of his retirement continued continuously. Rohit (76), in such a situation, made the occasion completely named and in his aggressive manner, New Zealand was pushed to the backfoot in the beginning. Rohit scored a half -century and then made a century partnership with Shubman Gill (31).

Team India quickly got 2 shocks here and after Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli (1) also returned to the pavilion. Soon captain Rohit also lost his wicket. From here, Shreyas Iyer (48) and Akshar Patel shared a 61 -run partnership and made the team back.

Shreyas missed the half -century and Akshar Patel (29) also returned to the pavilion shortly. But KL Rahul (34 unbeaten) and Hardik Pandya brought the team very close to victory. Just before the victory, he was dismissed but Rahul, along with Ravindra Jadeja, died by giving the title to the team.
