IND Vs BAN: India make a winning start to their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign, as Rohit Sharma’s men hand Bangladesh a 6-wicket win on Thursday, February 20, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

The man of the moment was India’s Shubman Gill, who scored a magnificent ton in his maiden appearance at the ICC mega event whislt being the vice-captain of the side, as his unbeaten 101 saw the 2017 runners-up home.
