India’s dominant run in the Champions Trophy 2025 has been nothing short of spectacular. After defeating Australia in a thrilling semifinal, the Indian team is now on the brink of achieving the elusive ICC title. Whether batting first or chasing, Rohit Sharma’s men have ticked all the boxes, with every player contributing, which has been the hallmark of India’s journey in this year’s tournament.
Former Indian fast bowler, S. Sreesanth, has boldly predicted that no matter who India faces in the final, they are the favourites to win. His confidence in the team’s performance is evident, as he believes India’s combination of experience and youthful energy gives them a significant edge.
Key Factors Behind India’s Success:
Spin Dominance
Indian spinners have played a crucial role in India’s success, as seen throughout the tournament. Their pinpoint accuracy has consistently put pressure on the opposition, preventing them from scoring freely. This ability to control the game with tight bowling has been one of India’s major strengths, especially in high-pressure situations.
The Rise of Varun Chakarabarty
The 33-year-old mystery spinner from Tamil Nadu has been one of the standout performers for India. With his varied spin and deceptive deliveries, he has made significant contributions, including his key 2-wicket haul against Australia in the semifinal. India will be hoping Varun can replicate his performance in the final and continue to be the X-factor that could make all the difference.
Balanced Team Performance
With both seasoned players and rising stars, India has a well-balanced team. The squad’s ability to adapt to different match situations, whether it’s setting a target or chasing, is a testament to their versatility and composure.
India’s journey through the Champions Trophy 2025 has been a complete team effort, with both bat and ball clicking at the right moments. With the players in red-hot form, the team looks poised for one final push toward glory.
As the final approaches on March 9 at the Dubai International Stadium, all eyes will be on India, with fans and experts alike expecting them to seal the deal and claim the much-coveted ICC Champions Trophy.
