Axar Patel (29) and Hardik Pandya (18) also played vital roles in getting India closer to the target during the tense final overs. Post-match, Virat Kohli shared his excitement, stating that India has a squad that is capable of dominating world cricket for the next eight years, reinforcing their belief in the long-term potential of the team. With the Champions Trophy now added to their collection, the future looks bright for Indian cricket under the leadership of Rohit Sharma and with key players like Kohli, Rahul, and Iyer continuing to shine on the world stage.
