India clinched their third Champions Trophy title on Sunday, March 9, with a four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Rohit Sharma's tactical decisions played a key role in the team’s success in the prestigious ODI tournament, despite losing all five tosses.
"The biggest legacy is not winning the tournaments, he has won five trophies with MI, he has now won 2 ICC titles also. Rohit Sharma has changed the batting frontier of Indian white-ball cricket, that is his greatest legacy," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel.
Under Rohit, India have dominated ICC tournaments, reaching four finals. They won two back-to-back titles—the T20 World Cup 2024 and the Champions Trophy 2025, both without losing a match. The 37-year-old became the second Indian captain after MS Dhoni to win multiple ICC titles.
