List of batters expected to shine at the Champions Trophy 2025

As the 2025 Champions Trophy approaches, there will be quite a few key batters, who will make sure their teams taste glory. Some of the notable names expected to shine include Daryl Mitchell, Heinrich Klaasen, Fakhar Zaman, Ben Duckett and Shreyas Iyer.

Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand)

Mitchell is important for New Zealand’s batting in the Asian conditions. The recent form consists of significant contributions to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023. He demonstrated his potential to adapt and keep producing with consistency to become a key figure beside Kane Williamson. 

Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa) 

One of the most destructive middle order batters, Klaasen’s brute force combined with technical finesse against spinners makes him a key player for South Africa during the middle overs.

Fakhar Zaman (Pakistan)

As an excellent opener for Pakistan, Fakhar Zaman batting has contributed to 3,627 runs at an average of 46.50. His match winning all round performance in the 2017 Champions Trophy final remains iconic. 

Ben Duckett (England) 

Duckett’s blazing start for England at the top-order with a strike rate more than 100 will be pivotal to the team having a great deal of fast starts, particularly under pressure. 

Shreyas Iyer (India)

With his middle-order class on display with consistent performances recently, Shreyas Iyer has now become indispensable for India. Controlling, accelerating and anchoring the innings would allow the right-hander to control the middle overs.
