Win Projections to be updated soon
After India’s Champions Trophy 2025 victory over New Zealand in the final in Dubai, cricketer Ravindra Jadeja put a stop to all the rumors that he was retiring from ODIs. After sharing the championship with Sri Lanka in 2000, Jadeja scored the game-winning runs on Sunday, March 9, to enable India win the trophy for the third time.
There were rumors that the Saurashtra cricket player would be leaving the sport following Sunday’s summit match, but nothing of that nature really transpired. On Instagram, the great all-rounder posted a story that stated, “NO UNNECESSARY RUMOURS,” followed by a folded hand and a salute emoji, in an effort to combat the bogus news that was making the rounds on social media and news outlets alike.
In the final, the 36-year-old played a significant role in the Men in Blue’s victory. During his outstanding 10-over performance in the first innings, he conceded just 30 runs. At a frugal economy of 3.00, he conceded runs and made a significant breakthrough by dismissing Tom Latham. India was able to limit the Kiwi batsmen to 251-7 in the first innings thanks to his outstanding white ball bowling.
Later in the game, the Indian team won by four wickets with six balls remaining, and the all-rounder struck the winning runs on the final ball of the 49th over, proving that it was fate. With KL Rahul on the other end, he scored an undefeated nine runs off six balls to give the Rohit Sharma-led team the victory. After the wonderful experience, he was overflowing with joy and eager to express his emotions.
“I am a hero at times and a zero at others. That is how it is with me. For a new batter, the wicket was not simple. KL and Hardik were outstanding. Winning the Champions Trophy is a major accomplishment.
After the match, Ravindra Jadeja stated on television that it stings to lose a major tournament after playing for so long.
In the forthcoming IPL 2025, which starts on Saturday, March 22, the dynamic cricket player will next be seen playing for the Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Sunday’s encounter between CSK and their bitter rivals, the Mumbai Indians, is known as the “El Clásico” of the lucrative league.
