The Champions Trophy 2025 is about to end as we are towards the business end of the competition with just a semifinal and the final left to be played. India have already secured their place in the finale as they await the winner of South Africa Vs New Zealand match, which will take place on Wednesday.
Throughout the tournament, there have been several standout performers who have done well for their teams and have played match-winning knocks. In this piece, we will talk about 3 outstanding players who have been the mainstays of their team and could become Champions Trophy's Player of the Tournament at the end of the event.
1) Virat Kohli

The master of chasing totals, Virat Kohli came into the Champions Trophy with ample pressure on his back as the batter was woefully out of touch. However, when the big events come, Kohli comes to life as he has already played two match-winning knocks - one against Pakistan and the other one against the Australian team in semis.
In 4 matches, he has 217 runs and is the third highest run-getter in Champions Trophy 2025. He averages a staggering 72.33 and already has a century to his name. Another classical knock in the finals and he'll be the favourites to win the Player of the Tournament award.
2) Tom Latham

The best New Zealand batter in the tournament, Tom Latham, just like Virat Kohli went through a rough patch prior to the tournament, but when it mattered the most, he delivered the goods. He started off with a sublime century against Pakistan in the tournament opener and also scored a crucial fifty in a tricky run-chase Vs Bangladesh.
He couldn't do much Vs India, but with a semi-final and a potential finals left, Latham has a great chance to become the tournament's best player. In 3 matches, he has scored 187 runs, at an average of 93.50.
3) Mohammed Shami

So much was said about Mohammed Shami's fitness and whether he still has the ability to lead the Indian attack, but the Indian seamer responded in scintillating style as he was India's best bowler in the 4 matches they have played.
He even picked up a fifer in the first match Vs Bangladesh, and also delivered 3 crucial blows in the semis to help India reach the finals.
In 4 matches he has scalped 8 wickets, at an average of just 19.88, showcasing his class in ICC tournaments.
