India secured their third ICC Champions Trophy title with a 6-wicket victory over New Zealand, marking their second consecutive ICC title win after the T20 World Cup last year, with KL Rahul scoring the winning runs in a thrilling match at the Dubai International Stadium.

The Indian team's chase of a 252-run target was led by Rohit Sharma's 76 runs, with notable contributions from Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, showcasing the team's depth and resilience. New Zealand's innings was highlighted by Michael Bracewell's 53 runs off 40 balls, but the team was restricted to 251 for 7 in 50 overs due to the Indian spinners' dominant performance.

Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav played crucial roles in limiting New Zealand's runs and taking wickets, with only Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra offering significant resistance against the Indian spin attack. The match was closely contested, with both teams displaying their skills and determination, but India's experienced players and ability to handle pressure ultimately decided the outcome.

The victory marks India's seventh ICC title overall, including two ODI World Cup and two T20 World Cup titles, solidifying their position as a dominant force in international cricket. The team's celebration, which included spontaneous dances by Rishab Pant and Shreyas Iyer, reflected their joy and camaraderie, capping off a memorable tournament.
