A Tournament Poised for History
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, set to take place from February 19 to March 9 in Pakistan and Dubai, is shaping up to be a historic event. With the world’s best teams competing, several batting, bowling, and team records could be rewritten.
This edition features eight teams divided into two groups, playing a total of 12 group-stage matches, followed by the semi-finals and final. With batting-friendly pitches and a high-scoring trend in ODIs, we may witness multiple landmark achievements in this year’s tournament.
Let’s take a look at the major records that could be broken in Champions Trophy 2025.
1. All-Time Leading Run-Scorers
India’s Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are on the verge of making history in the Champions Trophy’s all-time run-scoring charts.
- Chris Gayle currently holds the record with 791 runs.
- Virat Kohli is ranked 11th with 529 runs.
- Rohit Sharma follows at 14th with 481 runs.
Given their form, both Indian batters could climb the ranks and possibly surpass Gayle if they have a long campaign.
2. Highest Individual Score in a Champions Trophy Match
The highest individual score in Champions Trophy history is Nathan Astle’s unbeaten 145 for New Zealand against the USA in 2004.
🚀 No player has ever scored 150+ in a single Champions Trophy innings.
With Pakistan’s flat batting tracks, the upcoming matches provide a perfect opportunity for a batter to surpass this milestone.
3. First 350+ Team Total in Champions Trophy History
The Champions Trophy has yet to witness a 350+ team total, a feat that is now common in modern ODIs.
- The highest team total so far is 347/4 by New Zealand against the USA (2004).
With the attacking style of cricket played today, a team could break this record and go beyond the 350-run mark in 2025.
4. Most 50+ Scores in Champions Trophy History
The record for the most 50+ scores in the tournament is currently six, held by Shikhar Dhawan, Sourav Ganguly, and Rahul Dravid.
- Virat Kohli (5) and Rohit Sharma (5) are just one half-century away from matching this record.
- With India guaranteed to play at least three matches, there’s a strong chance one of them will set a new benchmark.
5. India Aiming for 20 Champions Trophy Wins
India is on the verge of becoming the first team to reach 20 wins in Champions Trophy history.
- India currently holds 18 wins, leading the all-time standings.
- England and Sri Lanka follow with 14 wins each.
If India wins two matches, they will become the first team to reach 20 victories in the tournament’s history.
A Tournament to Watch
With high-scoring games, elite batting performances, and historic milestones at stake, the Champions Trophy 2025 could go down as one of the most memorable editions ever.
Stay tuned as the world’s best players aim to break records and make history!
