Wasim Akram Furious With Ex-Pakistan Stars Questioning Legacy After Champions Trophy Poor Show: "Unka Naam..."

Pakistan began the Champions Trophy 2025 as the defending champions, but they never lived up to the tag. In fact, they were one of the first teams to be knocked out of the Champions Trophy 2025, a tournament that they were hosting. The capitulation that Pakistan had, led to widespread criticism. From lack of intent in the players to zero planning by the Pakistan Cricket Board, none were spared. Even nineties' stars faced criticism. The 90s was a time when Pakistan won the World Cup and notched some memorable wins.

"A Lot Of Distance...": Varun Chakravarthy's Indirect Jibe At Critics After Champions Trophy 2025 Triumph

Varun Chakravarthy's late inclusion in India's Champions Trophy squad proved to be an X-factor for the team in the eight-team competition, which came to a grand conclusion with the Rohit Sharma-led side lifting the title in Dubai last Sunday. Chakravarthy was arguably India's best bowler as he picked nine wickets, tournament's second best tally, in just three matches. He took 2-45 in the final against New Zealand, helping India restrict New Zealand to 251/7, a total which the team chased down in 49 overs.

"Not Happy The Way He...": Shreyas Iyer Receives Blunt Verdict by World Cup Winner Over CT 2025 Final Show

Runs from the likes of Shreyas Iyer and K L Rahul on slow pitches of Dubai contributed immensely to India's title-winning run at the Champions Trophy 2025. Following a roller-coaster year when he won the IPL and was dropped from the central contracts at the same time, Iyer has shown his value to the team. 1983 World Cup winner Dilip Vengsarkar, who has been a BCCI chief selector too, could not be more pleased for the middle-order batter.

India's Champions Trophy 2025 Hero Made His Film Debut Way Before Playing For National Side

It was a brilliant campaign for Varun Chakravarthy in the Champions Trophy 2025 as the Indian cricket team spinner ended up as the second best wicket-taker in the competition. He impressed everyone with his disciplined bowling and ended up taking 9 wickets in just 3 matches. It was the perfect show from the spinner who made his name in the domestic circuit and as a part of the Kolkata Knight Riders side in the Indian Premier League (IPL). However, even before making his T20I debut for India in 2021, he played a cameo in a 2014 Tamil movie called 'Jeeva' with Vishnu Vishal in the lead role. He was a budding cricketer at that time and it took him some time to finally achieve his dream of playing international cricket.

Pakistan Cricket Board Chief Mohsin Naqvi "Owns Plane, Should've...": Big Claim Amid CT 2025 Final Controversy

If Pakistan cricket team's group stage exit from the Champions Trophy 2025 was not enough, another tricky development awaited them after the final of the marquee ICC event in Dubai. The tournament, which was hosted by Pakistan, saw the final move out of the country because India qualified for it. It was a pre-Champions Trophy arrangement which was agreed by all cricket boards that India will not travel to Pakistan and will play all its matches in Dubai. The real problem started after former Pakistan pacer Shoaib Akhtar and other stars pointed out that there was no representation from the Pakistan Cricket Board at the Champions Trophy 2025 final presentation.
