Champions Trophy 2025: Rashid Latif Highlights 4 Teams as Potential Threats to India and Pakistan 

With each passing day, the Champions Trophy 2025, one of the most prestigious cricket tournaments in the world, is approaching. The Indian team is pinning high hopes on it to regain its status as the dominant force in the sport. The team will play all the group-stage matches in the UAE.  India is considered one of the main favorites for the competition along with Pakistan, which also hosts the tournament matches.

India’s Cautious Optimism 

Given the prestige status of the upcoming CT 2025, it is no surprise that experts and fans are increasingly voicing their predictions as it approaches. They are eager to enter the debate and offer their opinions on how the competition will end. Most believe that the established favorites like India will manage to make it to the title. 

However, there are contrary opinions as well. Considering India’s recent failures against New Zealand and Australia, fans have justifiable anxieties from the anticipation of the tournament. On the other hand, the team’s win over England in the first match of the T20 series should give them confidence. Both batters and bowlers of India have performed well. With his blistering 79 off 34 balls, Abhishek Sharma deserved special whiskers. So, there is a reason for India’s hopes of success. 

Rashid Latif Thinks Six Teams Can Claim the Title
