Final Thoughts
India last won the ICC Champions Trophy under the leadership of MS Dhoni in 2013. Apart from this, team India was also a joint winner with the Sri Lankan team in 2002. With the Champions Trophy eluding the team India in 2017 after a loss against Pakistan, the 2025 edition is a perfect opportunity to play fearless cricket and become champions.
While Pakistan is the official host for the 2025 Champions Trophy, the Indian team will play all its matches in Dubai. The Indian squad looks well balanced, with a perfect mix of youth and experience. All-rounders like Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, and Washington Sundar will add immense depth to the squad.
Indian cricket fans will hope that the team dominates the tournament and brings home the glory!
