Most Runs In Champions Trophy History is set to be a highlight of the upcoming 2025 ICC Champions Trophy, an exciting tournament featuring eight top cricketing nations.
Scheduled to take place in Pakistan and the UAE from February 19, 2025, this tournament will see teams like India, Pakistan, New Zealand, Bangladesh, Australia, England, South Africa, and Afghanistan battling it out for the prestigious title.

This time, no team is favored to win it because every team somewhere struggled in ODI.
