Jammu, Jammu & Kashmir | March 9, 2025– As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand captivates the cricketing world from Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the fervour has reached the streets of Jammu, where Central Reserve Police Force personnel are rallying behind Team India. With the match underway on this Sunday evening, CRPF Jawan Kamaljeet Singh expressed unshakeable optimism about India’s prospects, reflecting the collective excitement among his peers.
“Obviously, India will win… All our Jawans are excited for India to win… We hope Rohit Sharma will shine… There is nothing that India does not excel in,” Singh declared in Jammu earlier today. His words encapsulate the high spirits among the CRPF ranks, who see the final as more than just a game—it’s a moment of national pride.
In Jammu, the CRPF’s enthusiasm mirrors broader sentiments across Jammu and Kashmir, where cricket has united communities in support of the Men in Blue. Earlier reports highlighted jawans celebrating India’s semifinal victory over Australia with dhol beats and songs, a tradition that appears to have carried into today’s final. “We’re backing the team fully,” Singh’s statement suggests, echoing a sentiment shared by millions, including Union Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, who earlier today in Jammu said, “This is the desire of 140 crore Indians.”
India’s unbeaten run in the tournament—capped by a group-stage win over New Zealand—has fueled expectations of a triumphant finish. For the CRPF jawans stationed in Jammu, far from the action in Dubai, the match is a source of inspiration and unity. Singh’s assertion that “there is nothing that India does not excel in” reflects not just confidence in the cricket team but a broader pride in the nation’s achievements.
The cheers from Jammu’s CRPF personnel add to the chorus of support reverberating across India. Whether Rohit Sharma lights up the scoreboard or the spinners seal the deal, today’s match promises to be a defining moment—and for jawans like Kamaljeet Singh, a victory would be a triumph worth celebrating.
