Team India, which performed brilliantly in the recently concluded ODI series against England, has geared up to lead India under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. Certainly, after giving India a great start in the 2023 ODI World Cup and 2024 T20 World Cup, Rohit would like to repeat his successes as an opener in another ICC tournament. On February 20, India will begin its Champions Trophy 2025 campaign against Bangladesh in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led team will not tour Pakistan for this tournament. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has taken this decision in view of security reasons. India will play all its matches in Dubai. After its first match against Bangladesh on February 20, India will play against Pakistan on February 23 and New Zealand on March 2. In such a situation, the big question is whether the Indian team will have 3 fast bowlers and 3 spin bowlers or 2 spin bowlers in the match against Bangladesh on February 20? Needless to say, Team India, eager to start the tournament with a win, would like to field a strong playing XI in the first match (Team India Playing XI). In such a situation, everyone is curious to know how many batsmen captain Rohit Sharma and coach Gautam Gambhir will field?
Let us know about the possible playing XI of the Indian team
Let us tell you that the Indian team has to play its first match of the tournament against Bangladesh on February 20. Team India has been placed in Group A along with host Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand. It cannot be denied that all these three matches will be very important for India to make it to the semi-finals. A little carelessness or mistake can put the team in trouble. It is worth noting that the Bangladesh team has given a tough fight to India on the field in the last few years. In such a situation, it is very possible that the Indian team can play with 3 fast bowlers and 3 spinners in the first match of the Champions Trophy (Team India Playing XI). Of course, Team India has suffered a big setback due to the absence of Jasprit Bumrah. In the absence of Bumrah, the burden of fast bowling will be on the shoulders of experienced bowler Mohammed Shami. In this regard, Arshdeep Singh and Hardik Pandya can be seen supporting him.
Team India will have 8 options as batsmen in the playing XI (Team India Playing XI)
This was about fast bowling. Talking about spinner bowling, the coach and captain would like to play with three spinners. A big reason for playing three spinners is that the Dubai pitch is very helpful for spinners. In such a situation, Kuldeep Yadav can get a chance to show his flair among the three spinners. Apart from this, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel’s place in the playing XI (Team India Playing XI) is considered certain. Talking about the batsmen, coach Gautam Gambhir likes to enter the match with a strong batting order. So, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul will be the main batsmen in this playing XI. Apart from this, Hardik Pandya, Jadeja and Akshar also contribute well in batting. In this way, Team India will have 8 options as batsmen in the playing XI.
