Dinesh Kartik considered Yashasvi Jaiswal as backup opener Champions Trophy 2025: The Champions Trophy 2025 organized by the ICC is proposed to be held in Pakistan. In such a situation, despite a lot of time remaining in the important tournament, discussions have started regarding the selection of players. Let us tell you that the last time the Champions Trophy was organized in England in the year 2017, in which Pakistan won the title by defeating India under the captaincy of Sarfaraz Khan. In such a situation, cricket fans are very excited about this tournament which is going to be held again after 7 years.

Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik has given his opinion about India's opening combination in view of the Champions Trophy 2024. He has said that Yashasvi Jaiswal will be a part of the Indian team in the Champions Trophy 2025, but right now it is difficult for him to get a chance in the playing 11 as an opening batsman.

Rohit-Gill are better opening options for Champions Trophy 2025: Dinesh Karthik

Indian batsman Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has performed brilliantly in Tests and T20 Internationals, is still waiting for his ODI debut. In the last T20 World 2024, Yashasvi had to sit out due to Virat Kohli opening with Rohit Sharma. In such a situation, while answering questions on the selection of Indian players for the Champions Trophy 2025 during a conversation on Cricbuzz, Dinesh Karthik said, “The pair of Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill as openers is excellent. At the same time, Yashasvi Jaiswal can join the team as a backup opener. In such a situation, as long as Shubman Gill is meeting the expectations of the team management, he will not consider replacing him. Before the Champions Trophy, the Indian team will play only three ODIs, so I am hopeful that Rohit-Gill will handle the opening batting of the Indian team in the Champions Trophy.”

Let us tell you that Yashasvi Jaiswal is one of the youngest talented players in the country. Yashasvi has played 32 matches in his List A cricket career. During this time, he has scored 1511 runs at an impressive average of 53.96, which includes 5 centuries and 7 half-centuries.
