New Delhi. The Champions Trophy 2025 (Champions Trophy 2025) is over and Team India has once again won the trophy after 12 years. The Indian team has once again captured the title in Captain's captaincy of Rohit Sharma. In the final, captain Rohit played the best innings and proved to be the star of the team's victory. While the whole country is congratulating Rohit and Team India for victory, the ICC has taken a shocking decision. A day after the end of the tournament, the best team of the tournament was formed by the ICC, but champion captain Rohit has not got a place in it.
In the final held on Sunday 9 March in Dubai, Team India won the title by defeating New Zealand by 4 wickets. In the final, Indian captain Rohit Sharma played an excellent innings of 76 runs, on which Team India achieved the target of 252 and won the second consecutive title. Rohit was also chosen as the Player of the Match for this innings. But a day later, when the ICC chose the team of tournament, then it did not give Rohit a captain, even 12 players did not give a place in 12 players.
In fact, Rohit did not get a place because of this because before the final, the bat of the Indian captain could not spew any special runs in this tournament. In the entire tournament, Rohit scored 180 runs in 5 innings. In such a situation, it was difficult to replace him in the team as an opener. Rachin Ravindra, who scored the most runs in the tournament, and Afghanistan's opener Ibrahim Jadaran have been elected openers. In such a situation, Rohit's place could not be made.
In such a situation, the ICC has made the captain of this team Mitchell Santner. New Zealand captain Santner not only led his team but also took 9 wickets in the tournament and was at number four in this race. As far as the rest of the players are concerned, 6 players of Team India have got a place in it. Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul have been selected in the top-middle order. At the same time, spinners Varun Chakraborty and Pesar Mohammed Shami, who are doing wonderful in bowling, have also got a place. At the same time, Akshar Patel has been voted 12th player.
