MELBOURNE : Australia have enough experience and versatility in their lineup to get into tournament-mode quickly for the Champions Trophy following a difficult buildup to the one-day international showpiece, according to opener Travis Head.
KARACHI, Pakistan : New Zealand underlined their title aspirations with a 60-run victory against defending champions Pakistan in a Group A match of the Champions Trophy at the National Stadium on Wednesday.
KARACHI, Pakistan : Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan said wayward bowling in the death overs and Fakhar Zaman's injury robbed them of momentum in the Champions Trophy opener against New Zealand on Wednesday.
Legendary India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has put out a bold claim regarding who he believes could become the "poster boy" of Pakistan cricket. Pakistan are the hosts of the Champions Trophy 2025, and it marks the first time the nation is hosting a major ICC event in nearly three decades. Ahead of the tournament, Ashwin singled out one player to star for the hosts during the event. The twist is, it wasn't star batter Babar Azam or captain and wicket-keeper Mohammad Rizwan.
Virat Kohli will return to his run-scoring ways in the Champions Trophy and lead the team's batting this year along with Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer, reckons former India player Robin Uthappa. The 36-year-old Kohli's recent struggles in Test cricket have led to discussions about his career, but he has no plans to retire and aims to play in the 2027 ODI World Cup. "Virat will score heavily this year and I think he's going to start doing that from here. I think Virat is there and thereabouts. He will be among runs very, very soon," Uthappa, who has played with Kohli for India and RCB, told PTI Videos in an exclusive interview on Wednesday.
Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina has reflected on India's struggles while chasing in ICC tournaments, emphasizing the importance of setting targets in major finals. "We couldn't chase in the 2015 World Cup against Australia. We couldn't chase the total in the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2017 final. We tried chasing in 2019, but we couldn't do it. We didn't have to chase in the 2013 Champions Trophy final. So, it's important to put runs on the board in a big final. Sometimes, we make mistakes, but we learn from them. I don't think we'll make those mistakes in 2025," Raina said, as quoted from JioHotstar.
