Former England captain Michael Vaughan believes much of India’s recent success comes from their squad depth and said it creates a problem for other countries in white-ball cricket.

Michael Vaughan Lauds India Cricket Team

The problem for the rest of the world in White ball cricket is that India have another team that could play and they are equally as good … the Aussies to push them so close was a great effort with so many missing … It’s India’s trophy for me … #ChampionsTrophy2025
