Mahendra Singh Dhoni is one of the most successful captains in the history of Indian cricket. Under his leadership, Team India won the 2007 ICC T20 World Cup, the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, and the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. The player retired from international cricket in 2020; however, he has continued to play IPL and is all set to don the no. 7 yellow jersey for Chennai Super Kings.

On the other hand, the Indian cricket team kicked off their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign against Bangladesh at the Dubai International Stadium. Although the tournament was hosted in Pakistan, Team India denied travelling to the country due to the ongoing political and security tensions. As a result, the Men in Blue played all their matches in Dubai.

Team India's domination was at its peak as the team remained unbeaten throughout the tournament and defeated every opposing team, including Bangladesh, Pakistan, New Zealand, and Australia. In the final clash, Team India dethroned the Kiwis and won by four wickets to win the title.
