Ahead of the ICC Champion Trophy, Kohli has regained his form. During the ODI series, Virat Kohli smashed a half-century, which will boost his confidence as he has struggled in recent times.

Meanwhile, the dream of Pakistani fans to watch Virat Kohli play in Pakistan will not be fulfilled. India will not travel to Pakistan for the ICC Champion Trophy 2025. They will play all the games in the UAE. India will start their trophy hunt against Bangladesh on 19^th Feb. On February 23, the Champions Trophy match between India and Pakistan will take place, and all cricket fans are looking forward to it.

New Zealand gave Pakistan a severe reality check in the ODI tri-series final as they won the game by five wickets. Ahead of the Champions Trophy, which starts on February 19, Mitchell Santner's team set a precedent at the National Stadium in Karachi by chasing down 243 with five wickets remaining. In the tri-series, New Zealand won all three games, demonstrating their superiority against Pakistan twice. 

The Champions Trophy opener between the two teams is scheduled for next Wednesday at the same location. Under Mitchell Santner's leadership, New Zealand has demonstrated that they are a strong candidate for lifting the ICC Champions Trophy.
