5 players from the final who might play their last Champions Trophy

The story of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 has been nothing short of a fairy tale. The arch-rivals India and Pakistan are set to battle it out in the final to achieve the ultimate glory at the Oval in London. The script of the tournament couldn’t have been better than this. The whole cricketing fraternity would be glued to the television sets to witness the battle between the neighbors.

As we prepare ourselves for the big final, there are certain players who must be having on the back of their minds that they would be heading out on the ground in their national colors probably for the one final time in the Champions Trophy. The age certainly plays its role on the players and hence there comes a stage in every players’ life when certain thoughts do arrive.

Let’s take a look at the 5 players from the final who might play their last game in the Champions Trophy:

#1 MS Dhoni

The former Indian captain has been a formidable player for the side for a number of years. He has all the trophies in the cabinet, one of them being the Champions Trophy itself that India won in 2013. He is aged 35 right now and by the time the next Champions Trophy arrives, he might not be around in the game anymore.

Dhoni had given up the captaincy of Test cricket a couple of years back and then handed over over the reigns of ODIs and T20s as well to Virat Kohli. There is a certain decline in the prowess of the wicket-keeper with age but he is still good enough to go on as long as the 2019 ODI World Cup.
