Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma will be under immense scrutiny as he leads India into the Champions Trophy 2025, potentially for the last time. Reports suggest that the tournament could mark his farewell as India's captain, with his leadership facing heavy criticism due to his recent poor form.

His struggles were evident in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he failed to make an impact with the bat. India, due to geopolitical tensions with Pakistan, will play all their matches in Dubai, starting with their opening game against Bangladesh on February 20.

Meanwhile, hosts Pakistan will face New Zealand in the tournament opener on February 19 in Karachi. India play their first match against Bangladesh a day after. Let's take a look at his performance history at the tournament ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025:

Rohit Sharma has a storied history in the Champions Trophy, having played a pivotal role in India's victorious 2013 campaign and their runner-up finish in 2017. As an opener, he was instrumental in India's success, providing crucial starts at the top of the order. His tournament statistics reflect his consistency-across the 2013 and 2017 editions, he played 10 innings, scoring 481 runs at an impressive average of 53.4 and a strike rate of 82.5.

In 2013, Rohit Sharma opened the batting alongside Shikhar Dhawan and played a crucial role in India's dominant run. He amassed 177 runs in five innings at an average of 35.4, with his highest score being 65 against South Africa in the group stage. His 50s against South Africa and West Indies laid the foundation for India's victories. India eventually clinched the title, defeating England in a rain-affected final at Edgbaston.

Four years later, in 2017, Rohit Sharma was in even better form, scoring 304 runs in five innings at a remarkable average of 76.0. His highlight of the tournament was a match-winning 123* against Bangladesh in the semi-final, showcasing his ability to dominate high-pressure games. However, his tournament ended on a bitter note as he was dismissed for a duck in the final against Pakistan, where India fell short by 180 runs.

As Rohit Sharma gears up for the 2025 edition, the pressure will be immense. His recent lean patch with the bat has raised concerns, and with India playing all their matches in Dubai, adjusting to conditions will be crucial. Whether he can replicate his past success and silence his critics remains to be seen. With the possibility of this being his final ICC event as captain, a strong performance could serve as the perfect farewell to his leadership era.
