Rohit Sharma has scored a half -century in the final of the Champions Trophy 2025. For this, he faced just 41 balls. His fifty is very special, because he has done this work in the ICC final for the first time. From this perspective, his innings is historic. Never before, he had never been able to score a half -century in the title match of the ICC tournament. Not only this, Team India also got a strong start in the finals due to Rohit’s fierce half -century.
Rohit showed strength in the final
Rohit Sharma is known for his strong performance in the ICC tournament. He did this work for the Indian team several times during his career. He scored fierce runs in every big tournament of ICC. But after giving a fast start to the team, he often missed out on playing a big innings in the final match. He made the same mistake in the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. But he showed understanding against New Zealand in Dubai.
