Dehradun : BCCI may soon announce the Indian team for the T-20 and ODI series against England as well as the Champions Trophy-2025. ICC has directed all 8 teams to declare their teams by January 12. Therefore, the team may be announced late tonight or tomorrow afternoon. Indian team’s Champions Trophy campaign will start against Bangladesh in Dubai on 20th February. Local 18 sought the opinion of the cricket lovers of Dehradun on the issue of how the Indian team should fare in the Champions Trophy. The center of discussion was Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, regarding whom cricket fans were quite vocal.

Cricket lover Mukesh Gupta believes that Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are the main players of the Indian team. he/she said that if these two experienced players are kept out of the team, it can prove fatal for the team. The performance of the young players is good, but a light team should not be made for the Champions Trophy.

Every player has downfall
Another cricket lover Harsh Kumar rejected the discussion on social media about the removal of Rohit and Virat and said that there are ups and downs in the career of every player. If these two are dropped then it may be difficult to win the Champions Trophy. The presence of veterans like Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah in the bowling lineup is also important. They should be included in the team at any cost.

Trust in Rohit, Jadeja-Bumrah special
Cricket lover Rahul Saini believes that the burden of captaincy should be on the shoulders of Rohit Sharma only. he/she said that Rohit Sharma has experience and he/she is a great captain. Apart from this, players like Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja are strong pillars of the Indian team.

It is necessary to include senior players
Little cricket lovers Atul Saini and RV Saini also shared their opinion. Atul says that the team is incomplete without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Also, it is very important to include players like Yuzvendra Chahal, Mohammed Shami, and Jasprit Bumrah in the team. At the same time, RV Saini suggested that Rohit Sharma should get a chance to captain for the Champions Trophy. India can win the title under his/her leadership.

Who will be the captain? discussion continues
The expectations and suggestions of cricket lovers regarding the Champions Trophy are clear. While some people are expressing confidence in Rohit Sharma, some people consider Virat Kohli to be a better choice for captaincy. BCCI may announce the team soon and it will be interesting to see what the selectors decide.
