In a thrilling beginning to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Shubman Gill starred for India as they defeated Bangladesh by six wickets in Dubai. Gill was unbeaten on 101 from 129 balls, leading India's chase of a challenging 229-run target. Gill recovered from early losses and a risky 144-4 to pair with KL Rahul (41 not out) to guide India home with 21 balls remaining. Mohammed Shami was the star with the ball, claiming 5 wickets for 53 runs, as Bangladesh struggled to reach 228 all out after being 35-5 early in their innings. The victory leaves India well-placed as they now look forward to facing arch-rivals Pakistan next. Source: Al Jazeera, India Times
