However, following Team India’s victory, Congress leader Shama Mohamed congratulated Rohit Sharma for his leadership.
On X, she posted, “Congratulations to #TeamIndia for their outstanding performance in winning the #ChampionsTrophy2025! Kudos to Captain @ImRo45 who led the way with an impressive 76, setting the stage for victory. @ShreyasIyer15 and @klrahul played pivotal roles, guiding India to success! A memorable triumph!”
In addition, the Congress party also congratulated Team India.
They posted on X, “𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐌 𝐈𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐀. The Indian cricket team has secured the Champions Trophy by defeating New Zealand. Every citizen of the nation is proud of Team India’s stellar performance.
