His remarkable performances with the bat and ball earned him the Player of the Tournament award, and now he finds a place as an opener in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Team of the Tournament.

New Zealand’s captain and star left-arm spinner, Mitchell Santner, will lead the bowling attack and the team as well. Santner's calm and tactical brilliance guided the Black Caps to the final, as well as the all-rounder contributing with the ball, taking nine wickets at an average of 26.6 and an economy of 4.80. Given his remarkable leadership and bowling show, Mitchell Santner was named captain of the tournament.
New Zealand pacer Matt Henry, who is the tournament’s leading wicket-taker with 10 scalps, also bolstered the bowling attack of the ICC’s team. Then came the surprise package in the form of India’s mystery spinner Varun Chakaravarthy. He repaid India’s faith in spectacular fashion by taking nine wickets in just three crucial matches that he played at the latter stage of the mega event.
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Team of the Tournament:
Rachin Ravindra, Ibrahim Zadran, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul (WK), Glenn Phillips, Azmatullah Omarzai, Mitchell Santner (C), Mohammed Shami, Matt Henry, Varun Chakaravarthy
