International Cricket Council (ICC) revisited Team India's ICC 2013 Champions Trophy final on Wednesday (June 23). Indian cricket team, under the captaincy of MS Dhoni, had defeated England in the final to lift the trophy.

With the win in Champions Trophy, Dhoni had become the only captain to lead his side to three major ICC trophy wins, having already won the 2007 T20 World Cup, and 2011 World Cup.

ICC posted the winning moments on Instagram and their post received a comment from England pacer Stuart Broad.

"23rd June 2013, ICC Champions Trophy final @mahi7781 becomes the first captain in history to complete a hat-trick of ICC trophies: 2007 @t20worldcup 2011 @cricketworldcup 2013 Champions Trophy," the post was captioned. 

Broad, who was also part of the final, wrote that the pitch was assisting spinners too much like Day 5 of a Test match. He wrote "Like a Day 5 Test pitch amazing spin!" in the comments section.

The 50-over match was reduced to 20 overs due to rain. Team India had scored 129/7 and they restricted England to 124/8 to win the match by 5 runs.
