With all of their stars putting on outstanding performances in the tournament’s opening two games—winning handily against rivals Pakistan and Bangladesh—the Indian squad has advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy 2025, which is currently underway.
One player has been making significant contributions even though the public saw players like Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma score runs.
In addition to being excellent behind the stumps, KL Rahul made a crucial knock against Bangladesh to help the team reach the end.
The gifted batter-wicketkeeper recently shared some obscure personal information during a 25-question session. He shared some secrets, one of which was about a bowler he despises facing in the nets.
The 32-year-old would, however, be expected to adopt the name Jasprit Bumrah. Mohammed Shami, the 2023 ODI World Cup finalist, was instead identified as the player spearheading the tournament’s bowling attack. After defeating Bangladesh by taking five wickets, Shami made a fantastic start to the tournament. With seventy-four wickets, Shami is also the highest-taking Indian in ICC events, followed by the great left-arm seamer Zaheer Khan.
