Adding another milestone to his name, Rohit became just the fourth captain in history to win the Player of the Match award in an ICC final. He joins an exclusive list that includes:

This Champions Trophy victory also saw India clinch their third title in the tournament’s history, having previously won in 2002 and 2013—a record no other team has matched.
