Following their victory in the T20 World Cup 2024, Team India’s next goal is to clinch the Champions Trophy, scheduled to take place in Pakistan in early 2025. However, it’s still uncertain whether the Indian team will travel to Pakistan for this prestigious ICC event.
With only three ODIs lined up before the tournament, the Indian selection committee, led by head coach Gautam Gambhir, will have limited chances to evaluate the form and fitness of the key players. In this article, we’ll explore the expected 15-player squad that might represent India in the Champions Trophy 2025.
Champions Trophy 2025 India Squad (Predicted 15-Player)
The Champions Trophy 2025, which will be played in the ODI format, has sparked speculation about India’s potential opening pair. Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Yashasvi Jaiswal are the top contenders, but the big question remains—who will partner with Rohit at the top, Gill or Jaiswal?
For the middle order, veterans like Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant, and Shreyas Iyer are expected to play crucial roles. As for the all-rounders, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, and Riyan Parag are strong candidates to secure spots in the squad.
On the bowling front, Jasprit Bumrah is likely to lead the attack, with support from Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammad Siraj, Arshdeep Singh, and Harshit Rana.
