Rohit Sharma has made a statement about the Indian team after winning the ICC Champions Trophy recently. Talking about India’s performance, he has praised the team for its clarity and display of intent.
India has maintained an unparalleled winning streak over the last 3 ICC tournaments. The team has won 23 out of 24 matches across 3 tournaments. Starting from the 2023 ICC ODI World Cup, the team continued its scintillating performance in the 2024 ICC World T20 and followed it up in the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. The only match India lost over this period was the final of the 2023 World Cup against Australia. Despite going into the final undefeated and being the strong favourite, India lost. Australia won its 6th ICC ODI World Cup title at the Narendra Moi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
India learnt its lessons from the 2023 World Cup and showed great dominance in the two tournaments after that. It won the ICC World T20 hosted in the USA and the West Indies. India stormed to the final undefeated again. It went on to win the title by defeating South Africa in a thrilling encounter. Thus, India ended a 13-year wait for a title win in any ICC tournament for the senior men’s team.
The Indian team continued its dominance in the recently held ICC Champions Trophy. In the tournament hosted by Pakistan, India won all its games. India played all its games in Dubai due to security concerns in Pakistan. The Indian team defeated New Zealand in the final to clinch the title after 12 years.
Speaking to Mumbai Indian’s YouTube channel, Sharma said, “Look at what this team has achieved in this big three tournaments. After playing the tournament like that and getting defeated only once, and that too in a final [2023 ODI World Cup]. But imagine if we had won that as well to go undefeated in three ICC tournaments is crazy, never heard of, but I will take this, 23 wins in 24 games is unheard of. It looks very nice from the outside, but the team has gone through a lot of ups and downs”
