India defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets to claim their third ICC Champions Trophy title. Captain Rohit Sharma praised Shreyas Iyer as the "silent hero" for his crucial middle-order contributions, especially his 48-run knock in the final. Iyer finished as India's top run-scorer with 241 runs in five matches. "He was brilliant throughout the tournament," Rohit said. India's bowlers also played a key role, restricting opponents under 250. The victory adds to India's previous triumphs in 2002 and 2013, cementing their dominance in global cricket.
