The Indian team’s campaign will be against Bangladesh from 20 February in the Champions Trophy 2025. The match will be played at Dubai Cricket Stadium at 2.30 pm. The Indian team, which won the Champions Trophy in MS Dhani Kekapani for the last time of 2013, would like to win the trophy again after 12 years under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
Recently, in the three -match ODI series against England, coach Gautam Gambhir and captain Rohit’s strategy was to enter with three spinners and in the first match against Bangladesh, the team will remain on the same strategy.
According to sources, Kuldeep Yadav is scheduled to find a place in the playing XI as the third spinner with Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel in the first match. Varun Chakraborty and Washington Sundar, who were included in the Champions Trophy team in place of Yashasvi Jaiswal at the last minute, may be rested in the first match.
Kuldeep, who was returning from the injury, played two ODIs against England and he also had two wickets. The team is unlikely to change much in the batting order. Vice -captain Shubman Gill will open with Rohit. After that Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul will land.
KL Coach is the first choice of Gambhir as a wicketkeeper and has made this clear after the ODI series against Gambhir England. If you talk about fast bowling, Arshdeep Singh is sure to play with Shami as another fast bowler. The matter is that Rishabh Pant will have to wait once.
India’s possible playing 11
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh.
