NEW DELHI: As the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 begins in Karachi on Wednesday with the opening clash between Pakistan and New Zealand, all eyes are on India, one of the tournament's most successful teams. Led by Rohit Sharma, Team India enters the competition as a top contender, boasting a well-balanced squad featuring stalwarts like Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, and Shreyas Iyer, along with a formidable all-round unit.
A key strength of this Indian side is its depth, with Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Washington Sundar providing stability in both batting and bowling. The inclusion of fresh faces like Harshit Rana and Varun Chakravarthy adds variety to the bowling attack. Having finished as runners-up in the 2023 ODI World Cup, India will be eager to clinch their third Champions Trophy title.
