ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Leading run-scorers update: India batter Shreyas Iyer surpassed his senior teammate Virat Kohli as India’s highest run-scorer in the Champions Trophy 2025 during the final against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday. After Kohli was trapped leg-before by New Zealand spinner Michael Bracewell, Iyer took on the mantle of a 253-run chase and continued his fine scoring form.\

With 218 runs in five innings, including a century against Pakistan and a match-winning fifty in semi-final against Australia, Kohli finished fifth on the batting charts of the tournament. Meanwhile, Iyer jumped ahead to the second spot, with New Zealand’s Rachin Ravindra leading the batting charts with 263 runs.

Kohli finished this edition as the second-highest run-scorer of the Champions Trophy, behind Chris Gayle (791). Kohli’s best campaign was in the 2017 CT edition in England where he scored 258 runs in five innings.
