Ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, Australia captain Pat Cummins took playful digs at opponents in a commercial. Targeting Virat Kohli, Cummins quipped, “I’ve never seen you bat this slowly.” He also mocked Ben Stokes and Ollie Pope. Australia, the reigning ODI World Cup champions, and India, the T20 World Cup holders, are tournament favorites. Meanwhile, India vice-captain Shubman Gill emphasized that the upcoming ODI series against England is not just Champions Trophy preparation but a crucial contest. India’s squad remains largely unchanged, with Harshit Rana replacing Jasprit Bumrah.
