In a new behind-the-scenes video shared by the BCCI on its X official page, showed the team India heading to the photoshoot after the unveiling of new tri-color jersey for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025. Indian players received their T20I and ODI Team of the Year caps. Arshdeep Singh was presented with the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year award. In a light-hearted video, skipper Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja were discussing in their car the number of ICC events they had attended. "Abhi hum ja rahe hai headshot photoshoot ke liye, very excited, acchi photo aaye, photogenic ekdum," Jadeja responded.
Rohit went back to the memory of the 15th ICC Media Day, talking about his part in T20 World Cups, ODI World Cups, and Champions Trophies. Later, he did some math about his nine T20 World Cup innings, three ODI World Cups, and the upcoming third Champions Trophy. "Ye 15th hai mera, 9 T20 World Cup, 3 ODI World Cup, 2 Champions Trophy, aur 2 World Test Championship bhi." He then jokingly added, "17 baar bulaya unlog ne ye sab karne."
