Has strengthened his claim by scoring consecutive runs in T20.

When will Team India be announced?
The new update regarding Team India’s announcement is that a meeting of the National Selection Committee can be held on January 19, a day after the Vijay Hazare Trophy final, only after which the decision regarding India’s squad will be taken. It is being told that in this meeting, there can be a discussion about the team’s second wicketkeeper and leg spinner if Kuldeep Yadav is not fit at the right time.
wicketkeeper contenders
Rishabh Pant is the first choice for wicketkeeper. There are contenders like Dhruv Jurel, Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan and KL Rahul for the option of second wicketkeeper. Now it will be interesting to see who gets the chance.
Jurel can win
Sanju Samson is not playing in Vijay Hazare Trophy, due to which he may suffer loss. Whereas Kishan has scored 933 runs in 27 ODIs of his career. He has also scored a double century. Jurel has won everyone’s hearts with his performance in recent times. Along with batting well, he also does wicketkeeping. Therefore, he can perform well as the second wicketkeeper.
Tremendous competition for leg spinner
Who will be India’s leg spinner for Champions Trophy 2025? This question arises because Kuldeep Yadav is injured. Now he will have to give a fitness test, if he is unable to pass it then the lottery may be held for either Varun Chakraborty of Tamil Nadu or Ravi Bishnoi of Gujarat. Both these spinners have performed well in T20.
India’s probable team for Champions Trophy 2025
Rohit Sharma (captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, Dhruv Jurel, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav/Ravi Bishnoi/Varun Chakraborty, Nitish Reddy, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh. And Mohammad Siraj.
