As the countdown to ICC Champions Trophy 2025 begins, Team India has taken their preparations to the next level, with a series of intense, high-energy training sessions that could give them a major edge over the competition.

In their latest practice, wicketkeeper-batter KL Rahul turned heads with his aggressive approach, focusing on power-hitting to dominate the final overs. Known for his technical finesse, Rahul seemed to embrace the finisher's role, unleashing a flurry of sixes off nearly every delivery. With Rishabh Pant pushing for a spot in the XI, Rahul’s transformation into a big-hitter could prove to be a game-changer.

Meanwhile, Shreyas Iyer, who’s been in explosive form recently, worked on his power game, preparing to take on any challenge that comes his way in the middle overs. His confidence in clearing the ropes was evident during the high-intensity session.

Opener Shubman Gill, fresh off a Player-of-the-Series performance against England, was seen in sublime touch, playing an array of elegant shots, from crisp drives to powerful pulls. His consistency could set the tone for India’s batting at the top of the order.

The Indian team’s secret weapon, however, is the return to form of their captain, Rohit Sharma. After his stunning 119 in the second ODI against England, Rohit seemed sharp as ever, working on his delicate touch shots and late cuts, a clear sign that he’s ready to lead from the front.

With Virat Kohli also looking in top form, having rediscovered his rhythm with a composed 52, the Indian top-order is firing on all cylinders. His ability to anchor the innings and accelerate when needed will be crucial for India’s success.

As India fine-tunes their skills, the rest of the world may have to brace for an unstoppable force in ICC Champions Trophy 2025. With a balanced mix of power-hitting, technique, and form, India’s secret training could leave other teams scrambling to catch up. Will this be India’s year to dominate the tournament? The stage is set for a thrilling battle!
