Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team has performed brilliantly and won the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. In the final of the tournament held in Dubai, the Indian team defeated New Zealand by 4 wickets. With this, Team India has won the Champions Trophy title for the third time.
Fans are keen to know what is the next mission of the Indian team after the Champions Trophy? Let us tell you that now the Indian team has got a long holiday of 3 months. They do not need to play any international championship or series during this period.
Captain Rohit Sharma has returned to Mumbai after winning India for the second time in 9 months. The players of the Indian team will get a week’s comfort before joining their team for the IPL starting on March 22.
Players have given priority to comfort due to IPL lasting two months. The BCCI has not planned to organize any kind of honor ceremony, as was held on the team’s home after winning the T20 World Cup.
Players will land in IPL Mahakumbh

Like last time, 10 teams will participate in IPL this time too. A total of 74 matches will be played between these teams in 65 days, including the final. All these matches will be held at only 13 places in India. In this way, even though the Indian team is on 3 months leave, the players will not get any rest at all.
England tour will start a challenging two -year cycle
It has been 8 months since Gautam Gambhir took the command of the national team after Rahul Dravid’s term ended with the T20 World Cup win in July. Indian cricket is expected to make major changes in the next two important years. Gambhir has now reached the situation where he will face three different challenges, which will start with the England Test tour. It will be as usual after the IPL, so there will be no time for preparation at all.
