Champions Trophy 2025: How have India fared at mini-World Cup in the past

The article from MSN Sports discusses India's performance in the ICC Champions Trophy, often referred to as the 'mini World Cup'. India has had a mixed record in this tournament. They won the inaugural event in 2000 under Sourav Ganguly's captaincy, defeating Sri Lanka in the semi-final and then clinching the title against New Zealand. However, their subsequent performances have been less consistent. In 2002, they reached the final but lost to Sri Lanka. India did not qualify for the 2004 tournament due to a poor performance in the preceding year. They made a comeback in 2006, reaching the semi-finals but were defeated by the West Indies. The 2009 edition saw India exit in the group stage, and in 2013, they again reached the final but lost to England. The 2017 tournament was a redemption of sorts as India, led by Virat Kohli, won the title by defeating Pakistan in the final. The article also mentions the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy, where India will look to defend their title.
