ICC Champions Trophy 2025-Glory Setting for Team India and Emerging Player
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is shaping up to become a thrilling series, which happens to feature Indian Team and burgeoning cricketing players. With stiffer competition combined with dazzlingly dashing performances during the tournament highlights cricket's outreach to the wider world.

The taste of the game, in this ODI format, seems almost lost among the Indians since its last edition during 2024 saw three ODIs for India with not a single win from all of them. The expectation high from ICC Champions Trophy 2025 about this spectacular performance to be seen for the first time after a disappointingly bad season. It was from this very series that the redemption for champions trophy came about. They are still crying over disappointment in the year 2023 for the world cup. Chances have come open already underway preparation, to be seen, the impending series against England and the Vijay Hazare Trophy going on to prove their worth and make their case for new and old entrants alike.
Though there are many aspirants who would battle for a spot in the team, three stand out a mile ahead of the rest. From the cricketers, three have absolutely had the stupendous form going and are well above doing pretty well at the International level. Let's take a look at the new faces and the journey so far.
Yashaswi Jaiswal: A Promising Future in the Making
Yashasvi Jaiswal has been consistently making waves in the cricketing fraternity. With massive talent in all formats, Jaiswal has some fantastic Test cricket and T20I format performances to his credit. Of late, he emerged as one of the biggest contenders for an ODI position. A few phenomenal shows in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia have ensured his status as a trusted bat. He was the top scorer from India and proved how one could play under the weight of pressure on shoulders.
With Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill under the scanner, inconsistency is quite prevalent in India's stalwarts, and so Jaiswal might be one to change it for Team India. The environment for the left-handed 23-year-old for the Champions Trophy to be held in Dubai, might just facilitate him to enter into the country's 50-over side.
Shreyas Iyer- The Leader Eager to Grab Back His Spot
Shreyas Iyer has been brilliant with the bat for the last one month. Ranji Trophy has served him pretty well, because this saw his team Mumbai, emerge triumphant in SMAT this time around. And there shouldn't be too much trouble narrating why he's turned out to be the man of favourite cricketer on the circuit after his brilliant show under pressure, be it as leader or as a batsman. His contribution in Vijay Hazare Trophy has given a stronger reason for Iyer to make a comeback to the ODI format.
He is the last match played for India, when they toured England in early 2024 and played a Test match. He is an excellent player who can stabilize the innings and accelerate in situations required. Before the Champions Trophy, Iyer will regain his place in the national team and play a crucial role in the tournament.
Varun Chakravarthy: The Rise of the Spin Wizard
The grit and redemption seem to be defining the career graph of Varun Chakravarthy, who has come out as an important player for the KKR team that clinched the title of IPL 2024 under his tight bowling and match-winning performances. This success of KKR in IPL opened doors for him into the Indian T20I team for a series against Bangladesh and South Africa where he proved himself by bowling steadily in conditions which were very diverse.
It will be a good spin-friendly pitch at Dubai that can do Chakravarthy a world of good. Alone on variations, he would be a shoo-in as a booster of India's armory of spinning options. The lot eyeing a probable inclusion of finger spinner cannot bypass, hard as they try, the name Chakravarthy.
Future of Team India
Team India awaits what has been touted to be a highly important time for the cricket team when they would play in the much-awaited Champions Trophy 2025. This tournament would help them come out from the difficult season of 2024 and bounce back to the top in the ODI format. Selection will be the key to their fortune where experienced players will look to hold on to a place in the team and newcomers will look for a place. The domestic tournaments, including the Vijay Hazare Trophy and the series against England, are going to test the selectors.
Once again, it would depend on a well-balanced team that shall have a fair mix of the experienced ones as well as promising youth. Chasing like Iyer, and Chakravarthy at times, in the playing scenario brings on-field fresh energy into the game alongside some skill-sets which become decisive at particular high-pressure spots. May not be all easy yet, but this new superstar is prepared enough to emerge into that right time for the nation.
Now the focus started changing, that is, prepping and formulation of Team India as it is proceeding towards the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Such players are rising like the wind, i.e., Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Varun Chakravarthy. Recent outings by such player show preparations by which these ones have been exposed, as well as to rightly contribute for successful outing of a team in all international cricket challenge.
Champions Trophy is something over a tour, and hopefully a right mix of players have to present such an amends to take in the actual, all-out energy within Indian cricket to rewrite destiny if the cricket's history to allow the memories made in this great year, which is to enter the life of nations after 2025.
