Team India has once again proved its dominance in world cricket. After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, India has now clinched the Champions Trophy 2025 by defeating New Zealand in the final. This victory was not just about the players—it was also about head coach Gautam Gambhir’s smart strategies. Since Gambhir became the head coach, Team India has seen many big changes, and the results are now visible to everyone.
Gambhir’s Winning Strategy
Gautam Gambhir has a unique way of thinking. His strategy was clear from India’s Sri Lanka tour, where he started testing different players and new combinations. He focused not just on batsmen, but also on bowlers. Gambhir strongly believes that:
👉 “Batsmen can win matches, but bowlers win tournaments.”
Varun Chakravarthy – The Game Changer
Under Gambhir’s guidance, Varun Chakravarthy became a key player for India.
✔️ Played 3 matches in Champions Trophy 2025
✔️ Took 9 wickets
✔️ Performed brilliantly in the final, semi-final, and group stage matches
Varun’s mystery spin made it difficult for the opponents, and he became India’s trump card in the tournament.
Spin Bowlers Played a Major Role
India relied heavily on spin bowling in the Champions Trophy 2025. Along with Varun Chakravarthy, other spinners also played an important role:
✔️ Kuldeep Yadav – 7 wickets in 5 matches
✔️ Ravindra Jadeja – 5 wickets in 5 matches
✔️ Axar Patel – Performed well with both bat and ball
In the final match, spin bowlers played a crucial role in India’s victory.
Axar Patel’s Batting Order Changed
Axar Patel contributed not just as a bowler, but also as a batsman. Gambhir made a bold move by sending him up the batting order, and it paid off:
✔️ 29 runs in the final against New Zealand
✔️ 27 runs in the semi-final against Australia
✔️ 42 runs in the group stage match against New Zealand
Axar batted at number five in the semi-final and final, which was part of Gambhir’s smart strategy.
India’s Winning Formula
Gautam Gambhir’s three main weapons led India to victory:
1️⃣ Varun Chakravarthy’s mystery spin
2️⃣ Strong spin bowling attack with Kuldeep, Jadeja, and Axar
3️⃣ Axar Patel’s batting order change for crucial runs
With this perfect strategy, India has once again become the Champion of World Cricket! 🏆🔥
