After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the Indian team is going to play its first ICC tournament. India will start its Champions Trophy 2025 campaign against Bangladesh on February 20. Dubai has been given the responsibility of hosting all the matches of Team India. Rohit Sharma and company should perform brilliantly in the Champions Trophy 2025 and win the title. But in the meantime, Gautam Gambhir’s stubbornness seems to be sinking Team India’s chances. Let’s know what is the whole matter…
Gautam Gambhir’s stubbornness will sink Team India!
Only a few days are left for the start of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The first match of the tournament is to be played between Pakistan and New Zealand in Karachi on 19 February, while the Indian team will face Bangladesh for its first match on 20 February. But in the meantime, the stubbornness of head coach Gautam Gambhir has increased the problems of Team India. He is constantly giving a chance to a player in the team who has not been able to show anything special with his bowling so far. India may have to pay the price of this mistake by losing to teams like Bangladesh and Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy.
We may have to face a humiliating defeat in the Champions Trophy
Gautam Gambhir is constantly giving opportunities to young fast bowler Harshit Rana in Team India. After wreaking havoc with his bowling in IPL 2024, he claimed a place in the team. But he failed to make his mark in international cricket. Despite this, the team management and head coach expressed confidence in him. After T20 and Test, Harshit Rana has also stepped into the world of ODI cricket. On 6 February, he played his debut ODI match against England.
Disappointed everyone with flop performance
Playing his debut match against England, Harshit Rana could not do anything special. Even though he took three wickets for India, he conceded a lot of runs in the initial overs. He failed to make an impact with the new ball. Harshit Rana bowled at an economy of 7.57 gave away 53 runs in seven overs and proved to be the most expensive bowler for India.
His performance disappointed the Indian fans a lot, after which it is now being said that Gautam Gambhir’s giving him continuous opportunities may prove costly for India. It is known that he is considered a strong contender for Jasprit Bumrah’s place in the Champions Trophy 2025. Jassi may have to be out of the tournament due to being unfit. In such a situation, news is coming that Harshit Rana will be included in the team as his replacement.
