All teams are set with their superstar players, who will look to impress cricket fans with their performances in the Champions Trophy 2025. All eyes will surely be on the batters since ODI cricket has constantly evolved. Scoring more than 300 runs now looks like a cakewalk. In the last ODI World Cup, and even after that, we saw many teams cross 350, and even 400 seemed like an easy task, thanks to the batters.
Once again, we can expect to see teams reaching big scores, but this can only happen if the team has power-packed batters who not only have the ability to hit sixes but also stabilise the innings when needed. There are eight teams, but among them, three teams’ batting lineups look solid. But which are those teams? Take a look at the top 3 sides with the strongest batting attacks for the Champions Trophy 2025.
Teams with strongest batting attacks for the Champions Trophy
India
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, and to add the finishing touches, you have Hardik Pandya. Not to forget, Axar Patel is also in the mix. No one can get a better batting lineup than India has. Any of these players can take on the role and finish the game single-handedly, as many of them have done in the past. Now, all the given names are experienced, with some, such as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, already being legends. India also has a solid attack, and they will look to capitalize when they get onto the Dubai field.
Pakistan
Surely, many people feel that with the amount of talent Pakistan’s batters have, they should have been more consistent, but they are not. However, no one can deny the quality of batters they have in the camp. Players like Mohammad Rizwan, Babar Azam, Fakhar Zaman, and others are superstars, and they will look to do well in this upcoming tournament. Even Salman Ali Agha, who recently played an impactful innings alongside Mohammad Rizwan, is part of this group. All these batters have a bigger role to play, especially since they are playing in their own backyard, which means the pressure will be high. Given that they have quality players, we can expect their batters to perform in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
New Zealand
The Blackcaps are also going in with a full batting powerhouse. From Devon Conway to Tom Latham, Mark Chapman, Glenn Phillips, Kane Williamson, and Daryl Mitchell, all have consistently performed well over the years. In the last ODI World Cup, we saw how all of them collectively performed for New Zealand. Even Rachin Ravindra is part of the group, although his chances of making it into the playing XI for their first match against Pakistan are slim due to injury.
But what is confirmed is that all the mentioned players can clear the boundary and make tons of runs. We saw how they defeated hosts Pakistan recently in the tri-series final, and since they have been playing on the Pakistani surface for the past few weeks, they have an understanding of the conditions. They also have a game against India in the UAE, which means they need to adapt to the conditions. Overall, they have an impressive batting lineup.
