Indian Cricket fans across the globe went ecstatic as India beat New Zealand by four wickets in the final of the Champions Trophy on Sunday, March 9, in Dubai. The victory marked India’s third Champions Trophy win, making them the most successful team in the tournament’s history, surpassing Australia’s two titles. The victory came as a testament to India’s unwavering dominance in white-ball cricket, following their T20 World Cup win in 2024, and ended a 12-year wait for an ODI ICC title since their 2013 Champions Trophy success. This victory was particularly special as India remained unbeaten throughout the tournament, showcasing their depth and resilience.
Pakistan was official host of the Champions Trophy 2025. However, India had refused to travel to host nation Pakistan amid security concerns. All India matches were played in Dubai. As fireworks lit up the Dubai sky and fans erupted in celebration, India’s triumph reaffirmed their status as a cricketing powerhouse. With this third Champions Trophy title—following 2002 (shared with Sri Lanka) and 2013—India’s legacy in the tournament stands unrivaled, a proud moment for the team and its supporters worldwide.
As soon as the match ended, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook exploded with memes celebrating India's win, host nation and Pakistan getting out in the first stage itself and more. Here are some of the viral memes to make you Smile









The final was a rollercoaster of emotions. New Zealand, opting to bat first after winning the toss, posted a competitive 251/7, thanks to gritty half-centuries from Daryl Mitchell (63) and Michael Bracewell (53). India’s spinners, led by Kuldeep Yadav (2/40) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/45), orchestrated a remarkable fightback on a sluggish pitch, restricting the Blackcaps’ momentum. In response, India’s chase was anchored by captain Rohit Sharma, whose commanding 76 off 83 balls set the tone. Despite a mid-innings wobble, Shreyas Iyer (48) and KL Rahul (34*) played crucial roles, with Ravindra Jadeja sealing the deal with the winning runs in the 49th over.
