The blockbuster event recorded a 10.8% higher television rating than the India-Pakistan clash in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 held in Ahmedabad, which had 19.5 billion linear viewing minutes, compared to 26.5 billion minutes for the Champions Trophy match.

"Winning back-to-back ICC titles is a proud moment, reflecting Team India's dedication and excellence on the global stage. This cash award acknowledges the hard work behind the scenes. Our second ICC Trophy in 2025, following the U19 Women's World Cup win, highlights India's strong cricketing ecosystem," said BCCI President Roger Binny.

“There’s a young player from Australia, Josh Inglis, who performed well in the Champions Trophy. Tom Hinton is also making a mark,” he said in a chat with a TV network on Friday. “There are many talented young wicketkeepers emerging. In the past, wicketkeepers were mainly focused on their keeping skills, but with the evolution of cricket, their role has expanded,” the former West Indies wicketkeeper added.

Rohit, who played a crucial knock of 76 off 83 balls in the final, climbed two spots to secure the third position. His stellar performance earned him the Player of the Match award. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli, who accumulated 218 runs in the tournament, retains his place in the top five, holding the fifth position.
