Champions Trophy: ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is going to start from next week. This time Pakistan will host the Champions Trophy, but the Indian team will play all its matches in Dubai. A total of eight teams will participate in this mega event starting from February 19.

This time the fans have high hopes that the Indian team will win the title. Apart from this, an Indian veteran player can announce his retirement with this tournament. So let's know who is this player...

This veteran player will announce retirement!

Actually we are talking about the experienced wicketkeeper batsman of the Indian team KL Rahul. It is believed about Rahul that after the Champions Trophy 2025, he can say goodbye to this format forever.

Rahul has become the first choice as the wicketkeeper of Team India, but even after this, he is not being given much opportunities in one format by head coach Gambhir and the management, due to which he may be forced to take such a big step.

Not getting opportunities

KL Rahul has completely fixed his place as a wicketkeeper batsman in the ODI format (Champions Trophy), but his place in T20I cricket is still not being made. KL played his last T20I match for India against England on 10 November 2022, after which he was discharged from this format forever. Due to not getting a chance in the shortest format of cricket, he can announce retirement and focus his full attention on Test and ODI formats.

At the same time, Team India's chief selector Ajit Agarkar and head coach Gautam Gambhir are also not seeing Rahul in the T20I team at the moment, due to which he has been almost completely dropped from this team.
