T20 World Cup: With the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 just around the corner, India’s chances of clinching the title have come under scrutiny, as uncertainty looms over the fitness of pace spearhead, and ICC 2024 Men's Cricketer of the Year, Jasprit Bumrah.

Cricket legends Ricky Ponting and Ravi Shastri believe that the potential absence of Bumrah could significantly weaken India’s campaign, reducing their chances of winning by nearly 30-35%.

Bumrah, who had a phenomenal 2024, was recently crowned the ICC Men’s Cricketer of the Year and ICC Men’s Test Cricketer of the Year at the ICC Awards. He was instrumental in India’s victorious Men’s T20 World Cup campaign and had a stellar season across formats.
