India beat New Zealand by four wickets to win the Champions Trophy at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in a nervy final on Sunday.
Captain Rohit Sharma (76) top-scored for India, who chased down their 252-run target with one over to spare.
Daryl Mitchell made 63 and Michael Bracewell contributed an unbeaten 53 down the order to help New Zealand post a competitive 251-7 after electing to bat.
India’s four-pronged spin attack kept the run rate in check but they did not get enough support from the fielders, who dropped four catches.
India nearly squandered a strong start but KL Rahul chipped in with an unbeaten 34 down the order to help them complete a successful chase.
