India’s thrilling four-wicket victory against New Zealand in the final marked their second consecutive triumph in an International Cricket Council (ICC) event.

Dubai Hosts the Champions Trophy Final Amid Political Tensions
The final was hosted in Dubai due to ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan, which have prevented India from touring Pakistan since the 2008 Mumbai attacks. As part of a hybrid hosting model to ensure India’s participation, the International Cricket Council (ICC) moved all of India’s matches—including the final—to Dubai. If India had not made it to the final, the match would have been scheduled in Lahore, Pakistan.
Reaction from Fans and Locals
The Burj Khalifa’s light display drew large crowds of tourists and locals, who gathered to witness the historic moment. Social media users expressed their excitement and pride in India’s victory. Many fans flooded the comment sections with messages like, “India Triumphs Today, Pride Forever!” and “Proud to be Indian.” One enthusiastic supporter wrote, “Wow ab Dubai me bhi hamlog ka jhandha lahraya ja raha hai,” while others celebrated the leadership of Captain Rohit Sharma with remarks like, “My selfless Captain Rohit Sharma. Hitman 45.”
