Virat Kohli: Title winners India dominated the Team of the Tournament for ICC's Champions Trophy 2025 with five players -- Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, K.L. Rahul, Mohammed Shami and Varun Chakaravarthy -- named in the side. India lifted the Champions Trophy, beating New Zealand by four wickets in the final on Sunday, and became the most successful side in the tournament's history with a third title.
Kohli, who finished as the second-highest run-getter for India with 218 runs, scored an unbeaten century against Pakistan before playing an 84-run vital knock against Australia in the semifinal. During the tournament, Kohli also crossed the landmark of 14,000 ODI runs, becoming just the third player after Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara to do so.
Middle-order batter Iyer finished as the top scorer for India with 243 runs, including two successive half-centuries against Pakistan and New Zealand in the group stage. He played a key knock of 48 runs in the final, while his lowest batting return was 45 runs, proving to be a pillar of consistency in trying batting conditions in Dubai.
