Team India
At this time all the teams are sweating fiercely for the Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament, played between 8 teams, starts from February 19. In this tournament, Team India will start their campaign with a match against Bangladesh on 20 February. The match will be played at Dubai International Stadium. India had announced its squad long ago for this tournament. But due to the injury of Jaspreet Bumrah, the management made some changes in the squad at the last moment.
In fact, Harshit Rana was included in the squad in place of injured Bumrah in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy, which was being expected earlier. But with this, another change was made in the team which very few people were expecting. The team management excluded these form batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal and put it in the non -traveling substitute, while his place was included in the last 15, the mystery spinner Varun Chakraborty. This decision of management was quite shocking in itself.
Jaiswal’s figures have been great since 2023 ODI World Cup
Let me tell you that, seeing the form in which Yashasvi Jaiswal has been running for some time, it can be overwhelming India to exclude them from the team. Jaiswal has scored the most runs for India since the 2023 ODI World Cup. Yashasvi has scored 2028 runs in 49 international innings since the 2023 World Cup. At the same time, Shubman Gill, who is second in the list, is far behind him. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that, this decision to exclude Jaiswal from the squad for the Champions Trophy may be overshadowed by the Indian team.
Indians who scored the most runs in international cricket (after 2023 World Cup)
2038 – Yashasvi Jaiswal (49 innings)
1517 – Shubman Gill (42 innings)
1281 – Rohit Sharma (45 innings)
905 – Rishabh Pant (30 innings)
849 – Virat Kohli (38 innings)
