MS Dhoni Stars in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Promotional Video
Former India captain MS Dhoni surprised fans with a cameo in the new ICC Champions Trophy 2025 promo. It added excitement to the tournament’s buildup. The tournament will start on February 19, 2025, in Pakistan and the UAE. India’s matches are at a neutral venue due to the PCB’s hybrid model agreement.
The BCCI selection committee has named a strong squad, led by Rohit Sharma. But, Jasprit Bumrah’s fitness is a concern, so his participation is in doubt.
MS Dhoni’s Unique Role in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Promo
Cricket fans are thrilled by MS Dhoni’s role in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 ads. The ad is creative and funny. It has Dhoni in a snowy landscape, humorously complaining about the cold.
Captain Cool on the field 😌
Captain Cool as a fan 🥵With every match do-or-die in the #ChampionsTrophy, even @msdhoni needs a DRS (Dhoni Refrigeration System) to beat the heat! 👊

In the clip, Dhoni jokes about needing a “DRS — Dhoni Refrigeration System” for do-or-die matches. The pressure is intense. His role in the promo reminds us of India’s 2013 Champions Trophy win under his captaincy. The team won the title in a rain-affected final against England. India also finished as runners-up in 2017, losing to Pakistan.
The ICC Champions Trophy was scrapped but has returned for 2025. This makes Dhoni’s involvement even more special for fans.
Jasprit Bumrah Unlikely to Recover in Time for Champions Trophy 2025
As excitement builds for the tournament, Team India faces a setback. Star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is doubtful for the competition.
- Bumrah was ruled out of the final Test against Australia due to a recurring back injury.
- He is named in India’s Champions Trophy squad. But, he needs fitness clearance to play.
- According to TOI reports, New Zealand-based orthopedic surgeon Dr. Rowan Schouten will assess Bumrah’s condition. If required, he may travel to New Zealand for further rehabilitation.
With Bumrah uncertain, Shami will likely lead India’s pace attack. He is an experienced alternative in fast bowling.
India’s Road to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025
India last lifted the ICC Champions Trophy in 2013. That made Dhoni the only captain to win all three major ICC white-ball trophies: the T20 World Cup (2007), the ODI World Cup (2011), and the Champions Trophy (2013).
With the tournament returning in 2025, India will aim to reclaim the title under Rohit Sharma. They must resolve fitness and squad issues first.
