- Indian captain Rohit Sharma is fully prepared for the Champions Trophy 2025. He has prepared the blueprint for his playing 11 against Bangladesh. But in such a situation, Gambhir’s favorite Varun Chakraborty may be in trouble…
Rohit Sharma has been chosen as the captain for the Champions Trophy 2025. The entire tournament will be played under his leadership. He will have a big responsibility of making India a champion on his shoulders. At the same time, head coach Gautam Gambhir will be seen playing a big role behind the scenes. At the same time, let us tell you that India has to play its first match against Pakistan on 20 February. But, before that big information is coming out that Varun Chakraborty may be out.
Rohit Sharma can exclude Varun Chakraborty
Team India’s spinner bowler Varun Chakravarthy has performed brilliantly after his comeback. He bowled brilliantly and showed his spin magic in ODIs and T20s. Due to this Gautam Gambhir suggested his name for the Champions Trophy. Due to this Varun was hastily included in the 15-member squad of Team India. But, after Chakravarthy was included in the team, many big questions arose.
Why was he included in the team as the 5th spinner? Should a fast all-rounder have been included in the team in his place? But, the question in such a situation is whether Varun Chakraborty can be selected in the playing 11. On the other hand, if sports pundits are to be believed, he may be out. Varun does not seem to have a place in the playing eleven.
Because of this, Chakraborty will not be able to fit in the playing 11
Rohit Sharma can make Varun Chakraborty warm the bench in the match to be played against Bangladesh. Because his place as a spinner bowler does not seem to be justified in the playing eleven. Kuldeep Yadav can be selected as the main spinner bowler, while Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel can play the main role in spin bowling.
However, it will be interesting to see whether Rohit Sharma goes with experienced spinner Kuldeep Yadav or gives preference to a mystery spinner. Let us tell you that it is not easy for a batsman to read the mystery spinner. We have seen in the past that Varun has troubled the batsmen of South Africa, Bangladesh, and England a lot.
India’s probable playing XI for the match against Bangladesh :
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammed Shami
