When India defeated New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final on Sunday at Dubai International Stadium, Rohit Sharma earned his second ICC title, making him the second-most successful Indian skipper.

After defeating South Africa in the 2024 T20 World Cup in Bridgetown, India won their second ICC trophy under Rohit's leadership in less than nine months.

Prior to their third consecutive Champions Trophy final in Dubai on March 9, 2025, India had already advanced to the World Test Championship (WTC) in 2023, the ODI World Cup in 2023, and the T20 World Cup in 2024.

This was India's fourth straight ICC final in less than two years. When Rohit led his team to the final of all four major ICC competitions, he became the first captain in international cricket history to do so.

Following a Champions Trophy victory under MS Dhoni's leadership in 2013, India's more than ten-year ICC title drought came to an end last year as Rohit Sharma's team won the 2024 T20 World Cup.

With three ICC championships—the 2007 T20 World Cup, the 2011 ODI World Cup, and the 2013 Champions Trophy—Dhoni remains the most successful Indian captain.

Rohit has surpassed cricket greats Sourav Ganguly (2002 Champions Trophy) and Kapil Dev (1983 ODI World Cup) by winning two ICC trophies in less than a year.

In the history of the eight-team competition, India also became the first nation to win the Champions Trophy for a record-tying third time. India surpassed Australia, who had two titles, by adding trophies in 2002 and 2013.

With their third victory in this eight-team competition, India added a seventh ICC trophy to their collection.

Having advanced to the knockout stages on numerous occasions, including the 2003 ODI World Cup, the 2017 Champions Trophy, the 2023 ODI World Cup, and two appearances in the World Test Championship finals in the 2019–21 and 2021–23 cycles, India has established itself as one of the top teams in cricket.

Having won the ODI World Cup six times (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015, and 2023), the T20 World Cup once in 2021, the Champions Trophy twice in 2006 and 2009, and the WTC once in the 2021–2023 cycle, Australia is the most successful team overall across all formats.
