"India will start as firm favourites to win Champions Trophy once again"- Sunil Gavaskar ahead of the upcoming ICC event 2025
Sunil Gavaskar recently picked Team India as favorites ahead of the upcoming Champions Trophy. He opined that team spirit and the current form of the players were good, which might translate into good performances on the field in the tournament. In his column for Sportstar, Gavaskar wrote:
"India will start as firm favourites to win the ICC Champions Trophy once again. The spirit in the team is very good, as could be seen by their enthusiastic cheering of their teammates who won individual awards at the recent annual BCCI awards function. A team that is laughing with each other is a happy team that will invariably try and play for each other."
On star batter Virat Kohli, Gavaskar added:
"Kohli is a big-match player, and nothing will motivate him more than the opportunity to score runs and win the Champions Trophy for India. After the last Champions Trophy win in 2013, he celebrated with the Gangnam dance, which was the rage way back then. This time, if he helps the team win, we could be in for another unique celebration from him.
