NEW DELHI, March 10, (Xinhua):  Indians erupted in joy on Sunday evening after the country's cricket team won the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy by defeating New Zealand by four wickets in Dubai.

Cricket fans celebrated by setting off firecrackers, dancing in the streets, and congratulating one another.

This marked the third time India has won the ICC Champions Trophy, having previously claimed victory in 2002 and 2013.

Pakistan was the host country for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. However, the final match was played at the Dubai International Stadium, after India refused to play any games in Pakistan, benefiting as the only team to play all its matches in one location.
