Delhi: On March 9, the final match of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 was played at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. In this match, under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team defeated New Zealand and won the trophy. Former Indian cricketer Ajay Jadeja said about this victory of India that if this match had been at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, then its happiness would have been even more.
Tournament in hybrid model
Pakistan was hosting the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. But, due to political tension between India and Pakistan, the Indian team played all their matches in Dubai. The position of the final match was not already decided. If India did not reach the final, then the match would have been played in Lahore.
Ajay Jadeja said in ‘Sports Central’ show ‘The Dressing Room’, “One should also thank fans because all the players I talked to, he described the experience of playing in Pakistan quite good. The people of Pakistan came to the stadium in large numbers and watched the matches. Even though his team could not perform well, he made the tournament memorable. I was just thinking that if India had won this trophy in Lahore, it would have won a bigger win than the game. ”
Significantly, Pakistan could not defend its title in this tournament and could not win a single match in the group stage. He suffered defeat against India and New Zealand, while his last match against Bangladesh was canceled due to rain.
