As this 2013 tournament will be the last ever Champions Trophy there is even more desire to win than usual and it will also act as perfect preparation for next year’s World Cup.
The India squad is spear-headed by talented youngsters Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan, as well as including recent IPL winning captain Rohit Sharma.
