ICC Champions Trophy 2017: A look back at all previous winners
Here’s CricTracker’s quick recap of the Champions Trophy since its inception.
#7 India – 2013
By the time the Champions Trophy returned for its 2013 edition, MS Dhoni had secured every major ICC trophy under his belt, save the Champions Trophy. However, Dhoni’s collection of silverware was complete following a victory over the hosts England in the final.
India had a fantastic lead-up to the final, remaining unbeaten throughout the league stage of the tournament. As has been a common sight in England, rain reduced the final to a 20-over contest. India only managed to put up a below par score of 129. The English batsmen, namely Eoin Morgan and Ravi Bopara, were on course to hand England their maiden Champions Trophy title. However, a crucial spell from Ishant Sharma turned the tables on England, who fell short by 5 runs.
South Africa’s Wayne Parnell once again established his dominance in the tournament with a total of 12 wickets. India’s Shikhar Dhawan, who was the team’s mainstay through the course of the Champions Trophy, amassed 363 runs to be adjudged the Player of the Tournament.
