India won the Champions Trophy title beating New Zealand by four wickets in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Skipper Rohit Sharma (76) topscored for India, who chased down the 252-run target with one over to go.

Daryl Mitchell made 63 and Michael Bracewell contributed an unbeaten 53 down the order to help New Zealand post a competitive 251-7 after electing to bat.

India's four-pronged spin attack kept the run rate in check but they did not get enough support from the fielders, who dropped four catches.

India nearly squandered a strong start but KL Rahul chipped in with an unbeaten 34 down the order to help them complete a successful chase.
