In 2017 the work was left. I could not finish the job back then and I am very very glad that tonight is the night where I can say I am a champions trophy winner. That sounds good. I think for me; this has always been about winning as many championships as I can. I did say it when we won in 2024: That is not done. I still need 5-6 more trophies. I am thrilled that one more is added. Hardik Pandya said in a video posted by BCCI.
