It is said that age is just a number. You must have heard this phrase many times. It fits perfectly on the legendary Sunil Gavaskar. India won the Champions Trophy by defeating New Zealand in the final. Along with this, former Team India captain Sunil Gavaskar also won the hearts of crores of Indians. After the Indian team became the champion in the Champions Trophy in Dubai, Gavaskar danced heartily on the field. He was a member of the commentary panel in this match, but after the match was over, he came to the ground and danced a lot.

At the age of 75, Sunil Gavaskar also failed the youth in terms of dance. After India's victory, Gavaskar came to the field with Robin Uthappa. Uthappa was also doing commentary in the Champions Trophy. On one hand, while the Indian team was celebrating on the stage with the trophy, on the other hand, Gavaskar started dancing fiercely on the field itself. The moves of his feet looked proper like a professional dancer. He was continuously dancing to his tune.

With the bat of captain Rohit Sharma, who led from the front, and the spinners' performance, India defeated New Zealand and won the Champions Trophy for a record third time. Before this match, there were speculations about Rohit's retirement, but he returned to his familiar form and shut the mouths of the critics. Under his captaincy, India won its second ICC title after the T20 World Cup 2024. India won the title for the third time after 2002 and 2013 without losing a single match in the tournament. No other team has won this trophy three times.

Spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakraborty took advantage of the situation and bowled brilliantly. But Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell scored half-centuries with patience and gave New Zealand a strong score of 251 for 7 wickets. Rohit laid the foundation for victory by scoring 76 runs in 83 balls. India achieved the target with one over to spare. KL Rahul played the role of finisher and scored an unbeaten 34 runs. Rohit smashed two sixes and two fours off pacer Nathan Smith, who was playing in place of the injured Matt Henry.
