Champions Trophy 2025: After winning the T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian team is now eyeing the Champions Trophy 2025, which can potentially be played in Pakistan in February – March next year. India's visit to Pakistan is not confirmed at the moment, and the tournament can be played in a hybrid model. For this mega event to be played in ODI format, new head coach Gautam Gambhir can give entry to some of his favorite players in Team India. Let's know who are those players –

Rinku Singh :

Gautam Gambhir can give this explosive batsman of Team India a place in the Pakistani squad for the Champions Trophy 2025. However, the thing to note here is that Rinku has played only 2 ODIs for India so far. In such a situation, lack of experience can create problems for him. The right-handed batsman has scored 55 runs in these 2 matches.

Harshit Rana :

Harshit Rana showed a strong performance for Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024 and played an important role in winning the title. Also, Gautam Gambhir also knows him very closely. Harshit was also recently selected in the team for the ODI series against Sri Lanka, but he could not get a chance in the playing XI. In IPL 2024, he took 19 wickets in 13 matches.

Abhishek Sharma:

This year is going great for Abhishek Sharma, who won everyone's heart with his charismatic batting in IPL 2024. On the basis of his good performance in IPL, he was selected in Team India for the Zimbabwe tour, where he showed his ability by playing a century innings. Now it is believed that Abhishek can also be given a place in the blue jersey team for the Champions Trophy 2025 next year.
