Not only them, but India skipper Rohit Sharma was seen celebrating the win with his wife Ritika Sajdeh and daughter Samaira.
“It’s been amazing, we wanted to bounce back after a tough Australian tour, and wanted to win a big tournament, so to win the Champions Trophy is amazing. Lovely playing with a bunch of such amazing youngsters. So much talent in the dressing room, they’re taking Indian cricket further in the right direction. We’re happy to share our experience and try and make an impact whenever we get a chance (role of the seniors) but these guys are stepping up in a massive way and that’s why we’re such a strong team. These are the things you look forward to when you’ve played for so long and have had such a long career, you look forward to playing under pressure and you walk in and put your hand up,” said Kohli during the post-match presentation.
“I think to win titles, which has been missing in the past, the whole team has to step-up in different games. And you can see in this tournament, over the course of five matches, everyone has put their hand up somewhere or the other and that’s why we’ve ended up winning this tournament. People have made such impactful knocks, such impactful spells and it’s only a collective effort which can win you a title,” he added.
