Gill’s ton and Shami’s five-wicket haul secure India’s victory.

In the 2025 Champions Trophy, a brilliant performance by Mohammed Shami with a five-wicket haul and a composed century from Shubman Gill led India to a winning start. Despite a fightback from Bangladesh with Towhid Hridoy scoring his maiden ODI century, they were unable to post a challenging total. India, after a slight stumble in the middle overs, recovered with Gill and KL Rahul guiding them to victory. Bangladesh struggled from the beginning of the match, losing wickets early on to Shami and Harshit Rana. Jaker Ali and Hridoy then steadied the innings with a partnership, but Shami’s five-fer ensured a comfortable win for India. Defending a target of 228, Rohit Sharma and Gill attacked Bangladesh’s bowling, with Rohit leading the charge in the PowerPlay. Despite a few setbacks in the middle overs, Rahul and Gill’s partnership secured the win for India, with Gill scoring a significant century. The content will be rewritten.
