India’s Squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025: A New Hope
As the countdown begins for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, cricket fans are abuzz with excitement over India’s 15-member squad, led by captain Rohit Sharma. Scheduled to commence in Dubai on February 19, the tournament promises thrilling encounters, especially with key fixtures against Bangladesh and arch-rival Pakistan.
Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli: A Comeback Story
Despite facing criticism for their recent performances in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the overall lackluster 2024-25 Test season, Harbhajan Singh expresses unwavering confidence in Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both players have faced challenges, but as Harbhajan aptly puts it, “Bada khiladi wahi hota hai jo comeback karna jaanta hai” (A great player knows how to make a comeback).
With past performances in major tournaments like the ICC World Cup 2023 and T20 World Cup, the duo is poised to reclaim their form. “I am confident Rohit and Virat will come out all guns blazing in the Champions Trophy and lead India to the title,” Harbhajan stated, emphasizing their potential as match-winners.
Young Talent: Yashasvi Jaiswal
The inclusion of Yashasvi Jaiswal adds a fresh dynamic to the squad. Coming off a stellar performance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he was the highest run-scorer for India, Yashasvi is an exceptional talent. Harbhajan believes his aggressive yet composed batting style will be crucial for India’s success in the tournament.
Key Fixtures to Watch
India kicks off their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20, followed by a highly anticipated clash with Pakistan on February 23. With India having won the ICC Champions Trophy twice, the stakes are high as they aim to reclaim the title. Harbhajan’s confidence shines through as he predicts, “India will definitely win against Pakistan,” noting the electric atmosphere in Dubai.
