India’s ICC Champions Trophy 2025 victory brought emotional celebrations at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday night. One of the most heartwarming moments was Bollywood actress Anushka Sharma hugging Indian captain Rohit Sharma after the team’s four-wicket win over New Zealand in the final.As the Men in Blue celebrated their historic triumph, Rohit’s wife, Ritika Sajdeh, and their daughter, Samaira, waited near the dugout.
