Paltan, ICC Champions Trophy 2025 साठी ready?! 🤩

The Indian cricket team is all set to head into the mega event riding high on confidence, having defeated England convincingly by 3-0 in the recently concluded ODI series.

This time out, Rohit Sharma and Co. will be longing to take inspiration from the championship-winning 2013 campaign and go one step to avenge their heartbreak in the 2017 final.

Talking about the form of the squad, Team India looks in pretty good shape ahead of the tournament. 🔥

While the batters enjoyed their time in the middle getting valuable runs under the belt, the bowling unit ensured they were among the wickets to restrict the flow of runs.

Meanwhile, the 2013 champions are placed in Group A alongside New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh. If they happen to qualify for the knockouts, they will play semi-final 1, scheduled to be staged in Dubai.
