Champions trophy 2025: Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that there will be no place for Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson in the team for the Champions Trophy. Aakash Chopra has also given the reason for this.

New Delhi. Team India for the Champions Trophy will be announced soon. ICC has given time till January 12 for everyone. The team is to be announced by 12 January and changes can be made in the team by 13 February. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra believes that there will be no place for Suryakumar Yadav and Sanju Samson in the team for the Champions Trophy.

While talking on his/her YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “I think Suryakumar Yadav will not be a part of this team. he/she is not playing ODI and has not scored runs even in Vijay Hazare. Sanju Samson has not played at all. One did not play and the other did not score runs. I feel that it will be a little difficult to get his/her name in the Champions Trophy squad.”

1200 crores spent in repairing Pakistan’s stadium, who spent so much for Champions Trophy?

Let us tell you that Suryakumar Yadav’s performance in ODIs is nothing special. So far he/she has scored only 773 runs in 37 ODIs at an average of 25. Has not scored a single century, has scored only 4 half-centuries. Whereas, talking about Sanju Samson, Samson has scored 510 runs in 16 ODIs at an average of 56. It remains to be seen how true Akash’s prediction turns out to be.

Probable Indian team for Champions Trophy: Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Washington Sundar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Mukesh Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah.
