Hardik Pandya Lifts ICC Champions Trophy: A Journey of Redemption
New Delhi: Hardik Pandya has finally achieved what he longed for, lifting the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, eight years after his valiant 76-run knock in the 2017 final against Pakistan ended in defeat. That night, a young Pandya delivered a blistering performance, but India faced a crushing 180-run defeat. Fast forward to 2025, and Pandya played a pivotal role in securing victory with a crucial 18 off 18 in the death overs.
Reflecting on his journey, Pandya admitted that the memory of 2017 had always lingered. “2017, the work was left. You know I could not finish the job back then. And I am very, very glad that tonight is the night where I can say that I am a Champions Trophy winner as well. So, sounds good I think,” he shared after lifting the coveted title.
While celebrating this triumph, Pandya remained ambitious, expressing a desire for more titles. “For me, it has always been about winning as many championships as I can. I still need 5-6 more trophies there. I am very happy that one more is added,” he emphasized, showcasing his hunger for success.
The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup victory and now the Champions Trophy have fueled his drive for more achievements. As one of the senior players and a leader within the squad, Pandya takes pride in the team’s collective performance. “The most important thing in my life and my cricketing journey has always been about how I can make sure that my team can win,” he stated.
With eyes set on the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on home soil, Pandya has set his next goal. “The Champions Trophy is done; next goal ICC T20 World Cup in India, lifting the cup,” he declared, exuding confidence and passion.
