"I feel we have a squad that is ready to take on the world for the next 8 years," Kohli said in the post-match ceremony. "It has been amazing, we wanted to bounce back after a tough Australian tour (Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25), and wanted to win a big tournament, so to win the Champions Trophy is amazing."

"So much talent in the dressing room, they are trying to take their game further, and we are just happy to be of help (role of the seniors), sharing our experience, and that is what makes this Indian team so strong.

"These are the things you want to play (for titles), playing under pressure and putting your hand up. The whole team, everyone has put their hands up sometimes or other, everyone has put up impactful performances, we have been part of an amazing team, the amount of work we have done in the practice sessions, it feels great (to win). When you leave, you want to leave the team in a better place."
