The 2025 edition of the ICC Champions Trophy kickstarts on 19 February, comprising an enticing clash between the eight powerhouse countries of the sport. Making a comeback after eight years, the league is scheduled to happen in the defending champions' backyard, Pakistan. In addition, the UAE will be the second host country for India matches.

The Indian Cricket Team arranged their squad for the tournament yesterday, and some intriguing and shocking aspects came up from them, stirring a lot of talk and discussion amongst the Indian cricket fanatics. Taking away the good elements from the respective side, we dissect the three takeaways that can help lead India to their second-ever ICC Champions Trophy title.

India 15-man squad for Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill (Vice-Captain), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakaravarthy.

Unsurprisingly, the side's openers play a pivotal role in the team's desired winning campaign in the forthcoming tournament. Rohit Sharma has captained his side to a commendable victory of 3-0 against England in the recently concluded bilateral series. His swashbuckling century in the second ODI game is the cherry on top.

In addition, Shubman Gill showed great form in the just-ended ODI series against England, striking two fifties and a triple-digit mark in three games to help India defeat their opponents. He scored 259 runs in three innings with an average of 86.33, earning him Player of the Series honours. This makes him one of the promising batters to watch out for in the enticing tournament.
