2025 ICC Champions Trophy - General Discussions

[Umair7]

I knew from the start this tournament would be a joke as soon as India wouldn't go to Pakistan, but now that it's directly knocked Australia out it really does just feel like, what was the point. There was no world India lost this tournament, and they shouldn't have even been allowed to play it. England's win on boundary count has been made to look normal from what India have been given in this tournament. Pakistan finally host a tournament again and don't even get the final in their own country. ICC have failed here, but is that really a surprise?

Would India have beaten this Australian team in Pakistan... probably, but at least they would have done it where they were supposed too. Rant over. What a joke.

5 matches in the same stadium + no travel + plus same slow pitches yet a lot of Indian Supporters think they don't have an advantage! FINAL IN UAE FFS!

Jackass plays slow, eats up deliveries and gets out at the time when the opposition needs it the most! Just effing retire man!

He just hit 5 fours?

While I do criticize Kohli on most days, today is not going to be one. 60/2 chasing another 200 runs on this wicket ? This was as good as an inning from him. 5 fours do not matter, him and Iyer absorbed everything that was pressure.

I still feel Kohli left it too late. In a semi-final, the team doesn't need that kind of pressure.

I get it was a tough pitch, but batting for personal glories over trying to make the team win has become quite common with him. He is the VK of old where he could accelerate when required.

Boundaries relieve pressure, we have seen what a lack of boundaries can do, we saw that in Ahmedabad 2023. Okay, if you don't want to hit boundaries, at least rotate the strike and take quick singles. He has been leading the chas, but at the same time been guilty of simply ambling around.

Lastly,you heard from the captains, better pitch. If you have played in those conditions for 3 games in a row, you should know how to speed up.

Do you just get gratification from being wrong or saying things against the grain?

Nice to see Virat Kohli next to the Man of the Tournament

Kuldeep I think he needed that stick from Kohli and Rohit both.

He appears to laid back at times in the field with bowling as well.

Can be a liability in the field and needs to be on the action which he is sometimes not.

I think Kholi is destined to win his 2nd champions trophy

Time for bed boys, this is over. My god do I hope NZ or SAF win the final.

Just a genuine question.
Why?
A- India being in every final is now getting boring.
B- BCCI
