Hardik & Rahul’s Crucial Partnership in the Final

India’s chase in the Champions Trophy final was guided by Rohit Sharma, a well-crafted 76 off 83 balls by Rohit Sharma, along with KL Rahul’s unbeaten 34, guided the team to 254-6 in 49 overs, securing the third title. New Zealand’s innings resulted in a total of 251-7 in 50 overs after they opted to bat first, with Dayl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell contributing vital half-centuries on a tricky match in Dubai.

A strong foundation for India’s innings was laid by Rohit Sharma, who struck seven fours and three sixes, while Hardik Pandya’s quick 18 off 18 balls contributed to a key 38-run partnership with Rahul for the sixth wicket.
