Rohit Sharma Virat Kohli
Team India Champions Trophy: The Indian cricket team for the Champions Trophy can be announced any time. Although the team was yet to be announced, not only India but also the Pakistani team has not been announced. But it is believed that the team will come forward by January 19. Meanwhile, it is also not decided who will get a place in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy and who will not. Only possibilities are being expressed. Let us try to understand who could be the 15 players from India for this ICC tournament.
Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal can be the opening batsmen.
If we talk about India’s possible squad, it may have three players as opening batsmen. Captain Rohit Sharma will definitely be there, but Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal can also be a part of the team. However, the opening pair of first choice will be Rohit and Shubman. It is true that for some time now, Shubman Gill’s bat has not played in the way that was expected, but still bets should be played on him only. Yashasvi Jaiswal can also be included in the team as the third and reserve opening batsman. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who made everyone his fan with his brilliant batting in Tests, has not yet made his ODI debut.
Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul are also likely to get a chance.
After this, if we talk about the middle order, it is almost certain that Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul will be there. However, it also has to be seen that out of Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul, only one player will get a chance in the playing eleven. The team’s combination is becoming something similar. If we talk about wicket keeper, the front runner is Rishabh Pant. He will be the first choice, while Sanju Samson is also expected to get a chance as the second wicket keeper. In this way the team will have a total of three keepers. Apart from Pant and Sanju, Rahul will also be there. However, it is also certain that only one or two of these three will get a chance in the playing eleven.
Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy also have strong claims.
Now if we talk about all-rounders, Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja have the strongest claims among them. Both these players can cooperate with bat and ball. Nitish Kumar Reddy is likely to get a chance as the third all-rounder. Nitish Kumar Reddy can be included as a reserve player. After this, if we talk about bowling, then you can bet on Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav. Although Jasprit Bumrah is injured right now and there is no update regarding his fitness, but if he is in a position to play then he will be given a chance in any case.
Team India will also play three ODI matches against England
Before the Champions Trophy, India has to play a three-match ODI series against England. It will start from 6th February and the series will continue till 12th. It is expected that the team for the Champions Trophy and England series will be almost the same. Only one or two players will be seen changed. This will be the last chance for the Indian team to sharpen its preparations before the Champions Trophy. It remains to be seen that when the selection committee of BCCI sits, the names of which 15 players will be approved and whose cards will be cleared.
Probable Team India for Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj.
