Today is a very memorable day for India, exactly 10 years ago Team India won its last ICC title.

Today is a very special day for the Indian Cricket Team and for the whole of India. Because exactly 10 years ago today i.e. on June 23, Team India won the ICC Champions Trophy 2013 under the leadership of Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Actually, in the year 2013, the final match of ICC Champions Trophy was played between Team India vs England and during that time India won. With this victory, MS Dhoni also created a history for Indian cricket.

Let us tell you that Team India won the Champions Trophy 10 years ago i.e. in the year 2013 by winning the final match against England. Apart from this, MS Dhoni had also made a huge record in his name. Actually, Dhoni has become the only captain in the world to win three consecutive ICC trophies. However, since then it has not happened that any captain has won three consecutive ICC titles separately. He won the T20 World in the year 2007, the ODI World Cup in the year 2011 and the Champions Trophy in the year 2013.

Rain played spoilsport in Champions Trophy

Significantly, the final match of the Champions Trophy was played between India vs England and during this time the rain interrupted, due to which the match was reduced to 20-20 overs. Team India had scored only 129 runs while batting first and it seemed that the England team would achieve it easily. But this did not happen and England lost their 4 wickets for 46 runs in 9 overs to chase the target of just 130 runs. During this, players like Cook 2 runs, Bell 13, Trott and Root were dismissed cheaply.

England team was back

However, Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara returned to the match after 4 wickets for 46 runs in 9 overs. A good partnership was seen between the two and both had brought the score to 110 runs in 18 overs. Although it seemed that now the England team would win it easily. But fate had approved something else. After that Dhoni gave the ball in the hands of Inshat Sharma and it proved to be effective. He got Morgan 33 and Bopara 30 out on such scores in a single over and got Team India back again. At the same time, England team could score only 124 runs after 20 overs and Team India won the title by 5 runs.
