Earlier, KL Rahul was lost for words after India's third Champions Trophy title win. He admitted he was nervous at the crucial juncture of the game but also mentioned that he had the belief to steer India to the finishing line.
"Not sure I can say this on air but I was s****** myself. As confident as I could be that I could get over the line. Keeping composure is all that matters, happy to have done it this time. I've batted in times like this in three out of the five games. Hard to put in words, but the team has pure skill. The way we've all had to play cricket growing up, we faced pressure from the time we became professional cricketers. The BCCI have groomed all of them and we've challenging ourselves to get better," KL Rahul said after India's Champions Trophy title win.
Champions Trophy was Rohit Sharma-led India's second consecutive ICC title as Rohit Sharma-led side earlier won the T20 World Cup 2024 in Barbados. After the Champions Trophy 2025 win, India becomes the only team that has won the tournament for three times.
