India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja was recognized for his outstanding fielding efforts in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand, receiving the prestigious “Best Fielder of the Match” medal. The award, presented by India’s fielding coach T. Dilip, highlighted Jadeja’s incredible agility and sharp reflexes that played a crucial role in India’s triumph.
Notably, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma was also among the nominees for this honor, underscoring his active presence in the field throughout the high-stakes encounter. India’s dominant performance in the final was powered by a collective effort, with skipper Rohit Sharma leading from the front with a swashbuckling half-century.
Shreyas Iyer’s composed innings and the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav also played instrumental roles in India’s four-wicket victory at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. This victory not only secured India’s third ICC Champions Trophy title but also cemented their dominance in the tournament’s history.
