India’s 2013 ICC Champions Trophy win remains one of the most memorable moments in Indian cricket history. Under MS Dhoni’s leadership, India dominated the tournament, culminating in a thrilling victory over England in the final. Key contributors like Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan were instrumental in India’s success that year.

Rohit Sharma was the second-highest run-scorer for India, with 177 runs in five matches, including two half-centuries. His opening partner, Shikhar Dhawan, was the tournament’s highest run-scorer, amassing 363 runs in five innings at an impressive average of 90.75.

On the bowling front, Ravindra Jadeja was India’s standout performer, taking 12 wickets in five games at an economy rate of 3.75, topping the wicket-taking charts and playing a pivotal role in India’s victory.
