Team India, captained by Rohit Sharma, will be in action for the first time in the Champions Trophy 2025 as they will open their campaign against Bangladesh at the cauldron that is the Dubai International Stadium. The Men in Blue hold a spotless record against Bangladesh when it comes to the Champions Trophy and defeated them in the 2017 edition's semi-final.
On Sunday, February 16, the Men in Blue began their first practice session in Dubai. Led by Rohit Sharma, India are coming off a 3-0 ODI series sweep against England; hence, they are high on confidence.

Bangladesh, despite being the least favourites to win the trophy, cannot be taken lightly. Although they are missing Shakib Al Hasan, their pace-bowling keep stocks bring some promise and could rattle the Indian batters.
