Top 3 Indian players to check out for in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

2. Varun Chakravarthy

Varun Chakravarthy came out as a surprise wild-card entry to this list, but also as one of the crucial players who can change the course of the game for the Indian Cricket Team in the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy. Even after having the robust backings of Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, and Ravindra Jadeja, an additional right-hand spinner would bring variety to their spinmeister's core.

Though it has raised some eyebrows regarding his selection, even after just one-match ODI experience, citing biases and favouritism, Chakravarthy's mystery-spinning capabilities have enormously improved over the years. As the white-ball format suggests, he was adjourned as the Man of the Series in their triumphant five-match T20I series against England, where he took over 14 wickets, which defines his selection reasons for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy.
