India secured their third ICC Champions Trophy title, defeating New Zealand by four wickets in a nail-biting final at the Dubai International Stadium on Sunday. This victory marks India’s second successive white-ball title win.
India witnessed standout performances from several players in the final, particularly Varun Charkavarthy, skipper Rohit Sharma, Kuldeep Yadav, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul.
While Rohit took home the Player of the Match award, Rahul contributed with a vital unbeaten 34, staying till the end and batting with the tail to take India home in the final.
KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty married on January 23, 2023, in an intimate ceremony at Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala. The couple announced their pregnancy in November 2024 with an adorable post. The note read, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025” (with baby feet emojis), accompanied by clip art of an evil eye.
Athiya, who made her acting debut in 2015 with Hero, has also appeared in films like Mubarakan and Motichoor Chaknachoor.
