ICC Champions Trophy is all set to mark its return after 8 long years. India faltered in the final of the previous edition against arch rival Pakistan. This time the Indian team would be looking to win the prestigious silverware and for that some players are important. Here are the 5 Indian players that you should keep an eye on in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Indian Players To Watch Out For In Champions Trophy 2025
Virat Kohli
The King is currently struggling for form but he’s altogether a different beast in 50-over format. Who has forgotten his insane batting in CWC 2023. So, it’s unfair and madness to not include Virat Kohli in any ‘players to watch out for’ list. If we talk about Virat’s stats in Champions Trophy then he has scored 529 runs at an average of 88.16. India would be hoping that Virat Kohli scores loads of runs in the tournament and if it happens, India is surely the favorite to win the trophy as well.
Shreyas Iyer
India’s biggest problem in the recent ICC knockout failures was a poor middle order performance but the scene changed since Shreyas Iyer stepped in no. 4 position. Shreyas is the only player in the world to score over 1000 runs at an average more than 50 and strike rate over 100. He’s in good form and intent is always with him, so Shreyas Iyer is obviously a player to watch out for in CT 2025.

Mohammed Shami
If Jasprit Bumrah fails to make it to the CT 2025, Mohammed Shami has a lot to prove and manage for the Indian bowling unit. He had made his comeback after a long time in the England series. Not lying he is not looking that good right now but you can never ever underestimate Shami. His class is different and India need his good performance to win the Champions Trophy this time.
Hardik Pandya
For us Kung-fu Pandya is the X-factor India needs to win the cup. His game awareness, never give up attitude and ability with both ball and bat is something that is going to make the difference if India lifts the prestigious trophy in Dubai. We don’t want to jinx by writing more words in his glory, FINGERS CROSSED!!
Arshdeep Singh
If he gets into the playing XI, he is surely gonna rock. His accuracy and white ball form is insane. He is still to prove his worth in the ODI format and who knows the Champions Trophy is the stage Arshdeep Singh is gonna own…
