The Indian team is currently playing a Test series on the Australia tour, the final match of which will end on January 7. Meanwhile, the ICC has officially announced the schedule for the Champions Trophy 2025. According to this, the tournament will start from February 19. At the same time, the Indian team will start its journey against Bangladesh on February 20. Rohit Sharma will captain Team India in this tournament. But who will be the players in his team who will help India lift this trophy once again after 12 years i.e. 2013? Let us know.
These batsmen may get a chance.
Team India now has less than 2 months left to prepare for the Champions Trophy. The players will have a chance to prepare themselves only during the England series. Chief selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Gautam Gambhir, and captain Rohit Sharma will have to select the squad very carefully. So that there is a balance of experienced and young players in the team.
Considering the matches to be held in Dubai, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill can be seen opening in the 15 probable players. Both the pair had performed brilliantly in the ODI World Cup. Yashasvi Jaiswal can be seen as a back-up opener. Let us tell you that Yashasvi has not made his ODI debut yet.
Talking about the middle order, once again Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul can shoulder this responsibility. Shreyas has returned to Team India. He has been seen in form in the last few times. His bat is also speaking loudly in the domestic ODI tournament Vijay Hazare Trophy. Rishabh Pant may return as the main wicketkeeper. Rahul will be present for the second wicketkeeper.
These bowlers can play
Now let's come to all-rounders and bowlers. The conditions of Dubai help spinners. Considering this, the Indian team can play Hardik Pandya as a pace bowling all-rounder, while Akshar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja as spin all-rounders. Among the fast bowlers, Arshdeep Singh can be seen in the team's squad along with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj. If Shami remains fit, then he can be one of the leaders of this pace attack.
Probable squad of Team India:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul (wicketkeeper), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shreyas Iyer, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami, Axar Patel.
