ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Tournament Overview

Series Overview

The 2025 ICC Champions Trophy was a marquee 50-over event hosted primarily in Pakistan, with India's matches and the knockouts played in Dubai due to political considerations between the two nations. Eight teams competed in a group stage followed by semi-finals and a final. India, led by Rohit Sharma, were composed and effective throughout, winning four wickets in the final in Dubai against a New Zealand side who had been the tournament's most eye-catching team. Rachin Ravindra was the outstanding performer of the competition — the young left-hander scored 263 runs in four innings at 65.75, hitting centuries against Bangladesh and South Africa en route to the final, and also chipped in with 3 wickets including Rohit Sharma's scalp in the decider. Despite New Zealand's title loss, Ravindra was the unanimous choice as Player of the Tournament. In the final, Rohit Sharma anchored India's successful chase of 252 with a measured 76 off 83 balls, with KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja seeing the innings home. The tournament was significant for Pakistan cricket, which hosted an ICC event on home soil for the first time in nearly three decades, with packed stadiums in Karachi and Lahore.
