The Indian cricket team last lifted ICC Champions Trophy in 2013, defeating England under two-time World Cup winner MS Dhoni's captaincy. Although India reached the final in 2017 under Virat Kohli, they fell short against Pakistan.

With the ICC Champions Trophy returning in 2025 and hosted by Pakistan, the Indian squad for the tournament has been announced. Notably, only three players from the victorious 2013 team remain in the lineup.

Veterans from historic 2013 triumph

Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli (former captain), and Ravindra Jadeja (all-rounder) are the only players from the 2013 winning team to feature in the 2025 squad. These experienced stars will be key in leading the Indian cricket team's efforts to reclaim the title.
