Ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025, former Team India cricketer Harbhajan Singh backed stalwarts Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to showcase match-winning skills in the marquee event. He stated that even when the expectations are high, the duo still have the talent to deliver.

"Virat and Rohit haven't scored as many runs as expected, given their past performances. The expectations are high, and when they fall short, criticism is natural. However, with the Champions Trophy ahead, they have a great opportunity to showcase their abilities and prove how they can still win matches for India. If they don't succeed, naturally, the young players waiting in the wings will start getting more opportunities. But I still believe both have plenty of cricket left in them--they are highly capable players who can still score runs," Harbhajan Singh told ANI.
