India defeated New Zealand by four wickets to win the 2025 iteration of the Champions Trophy here on Sunday, adding a seventh ICC trophy to their cabinet while registering their third win in this eight-team event.
India have been one of the best teams in world cricket having made it to knockout stages consistently, including entering the summit clashes in 2003 ODI World Cup, 2017 Champions Trophy, 2023 ODI World Cup and twice in the finals of the World Test Championship in the 2019-21 and 2021-23 cycles.
Overall, Australia are the most successful team across formats having won the ODI World Cup six times (1987, 1999, 2003, 2007, 2015 and 2023), T20 World Cup once in 2021, Champions Trophy twice in 2006 and 2009 and the WTC once in the 2021-23 cycle, to take their trophy count to 10 in global cricket events.
The PTI takes a look at the ICC tournaments won by the Indian team in the past:
1983 ODI World Cup: With India’s first-ever triumph in a global cricket event, Kapil Dev’s team proved their mettle against all odds and brought down the mighty West Indies, who had won the competition twice in a row, in a low-scoring summit clash at Lord’s.
2002 Champions Trophy (shared with Sri Lanka): Despite having co-hosted the 1996 ODI World Cup, India fell short in the semifinal in crushing circumstances and bowed out with the resolve to get better. The team under the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly entered the final unbeaten, but persistent rains in Colombo on September 29 and 30 (reserve day) forced India and the hosts Sri Lanka to share the trophy.
2007 ICC World T20: At a time when perhaps no cricket board including India took the shortest format seriously, a young squad under a young leader in MS Dhoni created history when they pipped arch-rivals Pakistan in a tense final to win in the inaugural edition of the competition.
2011 ODI World Cup: The pressure was immense on the Indian team to end a long and elusive wait for the ODI World Cup trophy. Dhoni’s team, with Sachin Tendulkar as the cynosure of all eyes, accomplished their mission when they beat Sri Lanka in the final in Mumbai by six wickets to win their second 50-overs World Cup, after a wait of 28 long years
