New Zealand's Rachin Ravindra topped the run charts in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 with 263 runs after the opener scored 37 off 29 balls in the final against India. India's Shreyas Iyer finished second with 243 runs. In fact, Shreyas Iyer surpassed teammate Virat Kohli for the most runs by an Indian in the tournament. Virat Kohli finished with 218 runs.
Ben Duckett and Joe Root from England are third and fourth, respectively. Both Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer could have toppled Rachin Ravindra, but that wasn't the case. While Shreyas Iyer missed a well-deserved fifty by two runs, Virat Kohli was undone by a Michael Bracewell delivery for just one.

However, unlike his previous matches, Rachin Ravindra couldn't convert his start into a big one on Sunday. Starting the game at 226, the left-hander could only add 37 runs before being knocked over by Kuldeep Yadav's googly on the first ball of the 11th over.
Earlier, New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner won the toss and opted to bat against India in the Champions Trophy 2025 final. New Zealand made one change, bringing in Nathan Smith for injured Matt Henry, while India named an unchanged playing eleven. It was for the 12th time in a row that India captain Rohit Sharma lost the toss in an ODI.
India: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Varun Chakravarthy.
