The only captain to ever make it to the final of all four ICC championships was Rohit Sharma. Under his leadership, india advanced to the 2025 Summit Clash Champions Trophy, participated in the 2023 World Test championship and ODI world cup final, and won the 2024 t20 World Cup. The Men in Blue advanced to the Champions Trophy final by defeating australia in the semifinals.
India, who were chasing 265 runs in the match, were under pressure after being cut to 43/2 at one point. shreyas iyer and virat kohli took charge of the game and put up a crucial 91-run partnership. Axar patel struck a crucial knock of 27 to keep the scoreboard moving after Shreyas left for 45 runs. kohli, on the other hand, hit 84 runs with five boundaries without altering his pattern.
Later, india won the match by four wickets thanks to brilliant performances of 42* and 28 runs from KL rahul and hardik pandya, respectively. Following the game, skipper Rohit expressed satisfaction with the way the batsmen controlled the second innings. The batsmen were clinical to finish the job, he continued, despite the pitch's lack of friendliness.
"We thought the score was fair halfway through the game. Because of the nature of the pitch, you can't just come in and play the way you want to, so we had to bat really well to earn that score. We handled the bat in a very clinical manner. In the post-match presentation, Rohit stated, "Yes, we scored runs in the 48th over, but I felt we were cool and collected in our chase."
"We were really composed when we were batting. We desired the strong collaboration that Virat and Shreyas had, which worked incredibly well. Following that, there were brief collaborations between Virat and Axar, KL and Virat, and finally the match-winning collaboration. Even if it might not seem like many runs in the end, Hardik's final shots were quite important," he continued.
The final, which is scheduled for march 9 in Dubai, will pit india against the victor of the match between south africa and New Zealand.
