Champions Trophy 2025 Is India’s 7th ICC Title. It All Started In 1983…

The Indian men’s cricket team has etched a remarkable achievement by winning its seventh ICC title, defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the finals of the 2025 Champions Trophy . India’s consistent performances have cemented their place as one of the most successful teams in world cricket.

This was India’s 23rd win in 24 games across the last three men’s ICC events stretching back to 2023 – the only loss coming against Australia in the 2023 Cricket World Cup final. India won the Twenty20 World Cup final against South Africa last year.
