Shreyas Iyer plays a brilliant knock

The star middle-order batter Shreyas Iyer continued his good form in ODI cricket and played a fantastic innings in the summit clash of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

He came out to bat after the back-to-back dismissals of Virat Kohli and Shubman Gill. India came under some pressure when Iyer came to the middle, and the right-handed looked at his absolute best.

Shreyas Iyer stabilised the Indian innings with his brilliant batting performance as he smashed 48 runs off 62 balls, with 2 fours and 2 sixes, before being dismissed in the 39th over.

Notably, Shreyas Iyer got a lifeline on the fourth ball of the 37th over when Kyle Jamieson dropped an easy catch. Iyer walked down the track to smash a Glenn Phillips delivery for a six, but he failed to make a good connection.

The ball went flat towards Kyle Jamieson, who covered the ground and slid across from long-on and grabbed the ball, but it somehow popped out of his grasp. Looking at this, the ICC chairman Jay Shah went wild and he looked absolutely delighted with Iyer getting a lifeline.

India's Performance In The Last ICC Champions Trophy Final

In their previous ICC Champions Trophy final in the year 2017, Team India faced a crushing 180-run defeat at the hands of Team Pakistan at The Oval on June 18.

Batting first, Pakistan posted a huge total of 338/4 on the board in their 50 overs, thanks to Fakhar Zaman’s stunning century(114 off 106 balls) and crucial contributions from Azhar Ali (59), Babar Azam (46), and Mohammad Hafeez (57*).

The Indian bowling unit struggled in the match, with Bhuvneshwar Kumar (1/44) being the most economical. Jasprit Bumrah, Ravichandran Ashwin, and Ravindra Jadeja went wicketless, while Hardik Pandya, Kedar Jadhav, and Bhuvneshwar bagged one wicket each.

Chasing the total, India faced a horrible start as Mohammad Amir wreaked havoc with the ball, dismissing Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shikhar Dhawan early on in the innings.

With India struggling at 54/5, Hardik Pandya played a lone warrior’s knock, smashing 76 off 43 balls, including six sixes. However, a miscommunication with Ravindra Jadeja resulted in his run-out and India were eventually bundled out for just 158 in 30.3 overs to lose the match.

For Pakistan, Hasan Ali (3/19) and Mohammad Amir (3/16) were the top performers with the ball while Shadab Khan and Junaid Khan were also among the wickets.
