India’s Dominant Performance in ICC Champions Trophy 2025

India has been unstoppable in this edition of the tournament, winning all their group-stage matches convincingly. India outplayed Australia in the semi-final, with Kohli’s magnificent 84-run knock leading the charge in a 265-run chase.

Virat Kohli’s Stellar Form in the Tournament

Kohli returned to peak form with a brilliant century against arch-rivals Pakistan, proving why he’s still one of the best in the world. His 84-run innings against Australia further cemented his dominance, making him one of the top scorers in the tournament.

Kohli’s Milestones in ICC Champions Trophy History

With his performances, Kohli became India’s leading run-getter in Champions Trophy history, surpassing Shikhar Dhawan. He also overtook Mahela Jayawardene to become the second-highest run-scorer in the tournament’s history.

Kohli’s best campaign was in 2017, where he scored 258 runs in five innings. In 2025, he’s already on 217 runs with the final still to come. Chris Gayle holds the record for most runs in a single edition (474 in 2006), which Kohli can challenge if he scores big in the final.

A big score could make him the all-time leading run-scorer in the tournament. If Kohli scores over 100, he could challenge Gayle’s record of most runs in a single edition. Winning another ICC trophy would solidify his place among cricket’s greatest. New Zealand’s disciplined bowling attack and fielding prowess will test India. Experts believe Kohli’s recent form makes him the biggest threat to New Zealand’s bowlers. Many predict Kohli will play a match-winning knock to help India lift the trophy.

India vs. New Zealand: The Final Showdown

India and New Zealand have a competitive history in ICC tournaments, making this an exciting final.  The pitch is expected to be slow and dry, favoring spinners. India’s spinners, including Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav, could play a key role in deciding the final.
