Congratulations to Team India for their great win over Australia to reach Finals.
Rohit Sharma becomes the first ever captain to reach the final in all four Men’s ICC tournaments.
India have now made it to the finals of the Champions Trophy in five out of nine editions, the next best is West Indies (3 finals).
On a pitch where strike rotation was tough, one could say that it was a good toss to lose for India as they could pace the chase well. They mixed caution with aggression perfectly. Shreyas and Kohli forged a 91-run stand and that was followed by handy contributions from the likes of Axar, Rahul and Hardik. India, throughout the chase, had the asking rate under control and hunted down the total with 11 balls to spare.
India are through to the final of the Champions Trophy by beating the World Champions by 4 wickets!
