Will India Celebrate ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Win With A Grand Parade?

India clinched the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 title with a thrilling four-wicket victory against New Zealand at the Dubai International Stadium on March 9, 2025. New Zealand posted 251 runs, with India chasing it down, thanks to Rohit Sharma’s 76-run knock and crucial contributions from KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, and Ravindra Jadeja. Despite this major triumph, no open bus parade will take place to celebrate the win.

Why Is There No Victory Parade?

India traditionally hosts open bus parades after winning ICC tournaments, as seen after the T20 World Cup 2024. However, this time, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided against it. The primary reason is the tight IPL 2025 schedule, with the tournament starting on March 22, 2025. Players must report to their respective teams, making a large-scale celebration difficult.

India’s Past Open Bus Parades

India last hosted an open bus parade after winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. The team returned to Mumbai, where fans flooded the streets on July 4, 2024, to celebrate the historic win. However, for the Champions Trophy 2025, no such event is planned.

Will Any City Host a Parade?

No Indian city will host a victory parade for the Champions Trophy win. Unlike past celebrations, the focus remains on the upcoming IPL 2025 season, leaving little room for large-scale festivities.

What’s Next for Team India?

With the Champions Trophy secured, Indian players now shift focus to IPL 2025, which begins on March 22, 2025. This highly anticipated league will see stars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, and Hardik Pandya competing for their respective franchises.

India’s Champions Trophy victory is a moment of pride, but no open bus parade will take place due to the tight IPL 2025 schedule. Fans can now look forward to an action-packed IPL season, where India’s cricket superstars will be back in action.
