Team India has once again made history by winning the Champions Trophy 2025, defeating New Zealand in a thrilling final. However, unlike the grand celebrations after the T20 World Cup 2024, this time there will be no victory parade for the champions.

Why No Bus Parade for Team India?

Despite breaking a 12-year-long wait for the Champions Trophy title, fans will be disappointed to know that there won’t be a grand welcome or a victory parade for the Men in Blue. The reason? The IPL 2025 season is just around the corner!

• IPL 2025 Starts Soon: The Indian Premier League is set to kick off on March 22, 2025, with the opening match between KKR and RCB in Kolkata.
• Players Need Rest & Preparation: After an intense tournament, players will take a short break before joining their respective IPL training camps.
• Different Travel Plans: Instead of gathering for a celebration, the squad members will head to their home cities and IPL franchises.

India’s Dominant Performance in the Final

In the Champions Trophy 2025 final, New Zealand set a target of 251 runs. India chased it down with some brilliant performances:

• Rohit Sharma led from the front, scoring 76 runs.
• Axar Patel played a crucial knock of 48 runs.
• KL Rahul remained unbeaten at 34 runs.
• Axar Patel also contributed 29 vital runs in the chase.

With this victory, Team India has now won the Champions Trophy for the third time. While the absence of a grand parade may disappoint fans, all eyes will now be on the IPL 2025 season, where these champions will be back in action soon!
