As India gears up for their Champions Trophy 2025 opener against Bangladesh, all eyes will be on Rohit Sharma, a player with a stellar record against the Tigers in ICC tournaments. The Indian skipper has dominated Bangladesh in past ODI World Cups and Champions Trophy editions, and his past performances indicate he could be a key player in tomorrow’s high-stakes clash.
Rohit Sharma’s record vs Bangladesh in ICC ODI tournaments:
2015 CWC (MCG): 137
2017 Champions Trophy (Edgbaston): 123*
2019 CWC (Edgbaston): 104
2023 CWC (Pune): 48
Rohit has been a nightmare for Bangladesh bowlers in big tournaments, with three centuries in four innings, including a match-winning 137 in the 2015 World Cup quarterfinal. His unbeaten 123 in the 2017 Champions Trophy semi-final* was another statement of his dominance in crucial knockout games.
With India taking on Bangladesh in Karachi tomorrow, the team will look up to their skipper once again for a strong start in their campaign. Bangladesh, on the other hand, will be desperate to break their losing streak against India in ICC tournaments and contain Rohit’s aggression at the top.
Will Rohit Sharma extend his streak and continue tormenting Bangladesh, or will the Tigers finally stop him? The battle is set, and the world will be watching as Champions Trophy 2025 begins!
