India clinched the ICC Champions Trophy with a smashing five-run victory over hosts England in a rain-hit final at Edgbaston in Birmingham on June 23.
After frustrating showers reduced the contest to 20 overs, India first scored 129 for seven and then restricted England to 124 for eight.
Ravindra Jadeja, who took two wickets and scored an unbeaten 33 runs, was declered Man of the Match as well as awarded the Golden ball for taking the most number of wickets in the series.
Sikhar Dhawan was adjudged Man of the Series, who dedicated his award to the flood victims of Uttarakhand.
This was India's second Champions Trophy title having won the first one jointly with Sri Lanka back in 2002. That India won the championship two days before the 30th anniversary of maiden World Cup triumph back on June 25, 1983.
