New Delhi, March 10 (NationPress) Gautam Adani, the Chairman of the Adani Group, expressed immense pride and happiness following Team India’s remarkable victory in the ICC Champions Trophy final.
On the social media platform X, Gautam Adani praised the performance of the Men in Blue as they triumphed against New Zealand by four wickets in an exhilarating finale held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. In his tweet, he remarked, “Unyielding. Exceptional. Brilliant. Victorious. India Seals the Deal!”
The official X account of the Adani Group also participated in the celebration, posting, “Congratulations, Team India, on clinching the championship yet again.”
The final match saw India set a challenging target of 252 runs on a sluggish and turning pitch in Dubai. The Men in Blue commenced with a strong start, as captain Rohit Sharma targeted the bowlers while his opening partner Shubhman Gill anchored the innings. Despite the New Zealand bowlers slowing down India's run flow by taking quick wickets of Gill and the prolific Virat Kohli, the middle order, led by Shreyas Iyer, steadied the innings.
India’s chase was far from straightforward. The New Zealand bowlers, especially the spinners, exerted pressure by consistently taking wickets to challenge India’s batting lineup. However, with captain Rohit Sharma top-scoring with an explosive 76 off 83 balls and solid contributions from Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya, India crossed the finish line with poise.
Rohit Sharma’s performance, along with the steady approach of his middle-order partners, was pivotal in securing India’s third Champions Trophy title. This achievement is even more significant considering it comes less than a year after India's devastating defeat in the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup final.
Throughout the tournament, Team India maintained an unbeaten record. They began their campaign with a solid victory against Bangladesh, followed by a commanding win over Pakistan.
During the league stages, India also overcame New Zealand to top the group standings before clinching a semi-final victory against Australia.
