1.MS Dhoni
Legendary Indian wicketkeeper-batter and former captain MS Dhoni announced his retirement from international cricket on August 15, 2020. His final appearance for India was in the semi-final of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup against New Zealand, where a runout ended India's chances of making it to the final.
In the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, Dhoni scored 63 runs across two innings, maintaining a strike rate of 98.52.
2.Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan was India's third-highest run-scorer in the 2017 Champions Trophy, amassing 338 runs in five innings with an impressive average of 67.6 and a strike rate of 101.80. He built strong opening partnerships with Rohit Sharma, which were crucial to India's successful journey leading up to the final.
On August 24, 2024, Dhawan announced his retirement from international cricket, having played his final ODI against Bangladesh in 2022.
3.Dinesh Karthik
Dinesh Karthik was chosen to represent India in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, but he didn't get the chance to display his abilities on the field as all-rounders Kedar Jadhav and Yuvraj Singh were preferred in the starting lineup.
On June 1, 2024, Karthik announced his retirement from international cricket. His last match for India was against Bangladesh during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022.
4.Yuvraj Singh
Legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh said goodbye to international cricket on June 10, 2019. His final match for India took place against the West Indies in 2017 at North Sound.
During the ICC Champions Trophy 2017, Yuvraj played as a middle-order batter. He accumulated 105 runs over five innings, averaging 35 with a strike rate of 99. His best performance in the tournament was a score of 53, achieved against Pakistan in the group stage.
5.Kedar Jadhav
Kedar Jadhav played an important part in India's semi-final victory against Bangladesh in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. His off-spin bowling was essential in eliminating two key batsmen, Tamim Iqbal and Mushfiqur Rahim, helping India win by nine wickets.
On June 3, 2024, Kedar announced his retirement from all forms of cricket. He announced the news on Instagram, including a slideshow of unforgettable photographs from his career and a touching thank you statement.
6.Ravichandran Ashwin
Ravichandran Ashwin was India's second-choice spinner after Ravindra Jadeja at the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy. The off-spinner from Tamil Nadu had a difficult campaign, taking only one wicket in three matches at an average of 167. He eventually was dropped from the white-ball teams, but he made a triumphant comeback some years later.
Ashwin announced his retirement from international cricket on December 18, 2024, following the final test match against Australia in Brisbane.
7.India aims to bounce back in Champions Trophy 2025
After a disappointing performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India is aiming to make a strong comeback in the 2025 Champions Trophy. The tournament will be held in Pakistan, but India will play its matches in Dubai. If India qualifies for the second round, the semi-finals and finals will be played at a neutral venue.
