With the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 nearing, the official broadcasters in India, Star Sports, have released a promotional video featuring ex-India captain MS Dhoni.
In the video, Dhoni, who had led India to the Champions Trophy title in 2013, mentions how matches in the eight-team tournament will go to the knives edge, needing lots of ice to keep calm.

Hilariously, as buckets of ice is poured over one of India’s greatest captains, he then needs a Dhoni Refrigeration System (DRS), to stay cool when the pressure builds and intensity rises.
Labelled ‘Captain Cool’, MS Dhoni steered India to their second Champions Trophy title in 2013 when they beat England in a closely-contested final.
That win, in England and Wales, made Dhoni the first captain to win the T20 World Cup (2007), the ODI World Cup (2011) and Champions Trophy.
Moving the clock forward, the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy is scheduled to be played in Pakistan, with India’s matches to take place in the UAE, starting February 19. Pakistan are the defending champions having won the previous edition in 2017. They will get the ball rolling against New Zealand at the National Stadium in Karachi.
The tournament will feature the top-eight ranked teams with Bangladesh, India, New Zealand and Pakistan sitting in Group A. The other group features Australia, England, South Africa and Afghanistan.
