Champions Trophy 2025: Ever since Rishabh Pant has returned after the accident, he has batted very well and has also shown a lot of improvement in his fitness, but he is limited to Test cricket only.
His problem with the white ball remains the same. Due to which he may now be dropped from the Champions Trophy 2025 to be held in Pakistan, because this keeper batsman can be given preference in his place.
Rishabh's performance is not special
Let us tell you that the way Sanju Samson has made a comeback in T20 cricket and looking at his record in ODIs, the team management can give him a chance in the Champions Trophy in place of Rishabh Pant. Rishabh has played only one ODI match since his comeback, but he could not do anything special in that too.
Sanju is constantly capitalizing on the opportunities
On the other hand, Sanju is scoring centuries after centuries in T20, due to which he can be given a chance again in ODIs. Let us tell you that Sanju Samson performed well in all the opportunities he got before the 2023 World Cup, but the captain and team management gave Suryakumar Yadav a chance in place of Sanju. However, Surya flopped badly in that World Cup.
If we look at Sanju's performance in ODIs in the last two years, his performance has been very good. Sanju has played 15 ODIs in the last two years, scoring 464 runs in 13 innings at an average of 58. Which includes 1 century and 3 half-centuries. Sanju also scored a century in his last ODI match in South Africa.
Probable Indian team for Champions Trophy 2025-
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, Sanju Samson
