The tournament is also a litmus test for captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir who are facing immense scrutiny after India’s poor form in Test cricket. There’s also news that they currently don’t share a great relationship. This only raises pressure on the two individuals as exiting the tournament before the Champions Trophy 2025 final can have a disastrous impact on their future.
Meanwhile, India are without the services of injured Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami is expected to lead the pace attack. Virat Kohli, who has been in poor form lately, will also look to rediscover his form soon and win another ICC tournament.
