Former India player turned commentator Aakash Chopra has named the top five moments of Indian cricket from 2025. However, he kept the RCB’s IPL 2025 win at the fifth spot as well. Meanwhile, India won two ICC events – the 2025 Champions Trophy and the Women’s World Cup, this year as well.

In a video shared on his YouTube channel, ‘Aakash Chopra,’ he said, “At No. 5, I have kept RCB winning the IPL. You would ask how it’s important from an Indian cricket perspective. IPL is our tournament and the stories there touch our hearts. I would have said the same thing if Punjab had won. With Chennai and Mumbai, that’s no longer a story as they have done it many times, even Kolkata for that matter, but any team winning for the first time is a beautiful thing.”

“At No. 4, I have kept India drawing the Test series on the England tour. It’s because it wasn’t expected. It exceeded our expectations because Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli had just retired. It seemed like this tour would be very difficult because an extremely young team had gone,” he shared.

“At No. 3, I have got winning the Asia Cup undefeated. You met Pakistan every Sunday and defeated them. Eventually, the final went slightly close, but the Indian boys held their nerve. Hardik Pandya wasn’t available in the final. He is a clutch player, but they still did the job,” Chopra added again.

Meanwhile, Aakash Chopra also chose the 2025 Champions Trophy win as Indian cricket’s second-best moment of the year as well.

“At No. 2, I have got the Champions Trophy. There was an uproar there as well because Pakistan were hosting and India said they won’t go there. Then the tournament was played in a hybrid model. All India matches were played in Dubai, which I think was a distinct advantage. However, it’s also true that India won an ODI ICC event after 2013,” he said.

“At numero uno is the Women’s World Cup win. It is absolutely stellar because cricket will never be the same again. It’s like the 1983 moment for men’s cricket. This was surreal. This was phenomenal. It’s difficult to win at home in any case and the campaign wasn’t very good from the start. However, eventually, everything came together so beautifully,” Aakash Chopra concluded.
