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

The ICC Champions Trophy returns after 8 years, hosted by Pakistan and UAE (for India matches). Here are 3 players poised to shine in this much-awaited edition.

3. Pathum Nissanka

Pathum Nissanka reflects Sri Lanka's dreams of regaining worldwide prominence and demonstrates consistent and robust calibre. Nissanka's calm demeanour and technical ability make him a dependable anchor at the top of the order. With Sri Lanka hoping to end their championship drought, his involvement will be critical. The Champions Trophy's high-pressure environment will put him to the test, but Nissanka's track record of rising to the occasion makes him a player to keep an eye on.

His exploits might pave the way for a Sri Lankan comeback in international cricket. The 26-year-old opener has already established himself as a consistent performer, with 2,422 runs in 61 ODIs at an average of 40, with 15 half-centuries and six centuries.
