Bumrah’s Status Confirmed: India Reveals Exciting ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Squad!

India, a two-time champion of the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy, aims for a third title with Rohit Sharma leading the team. The victories came in 2002 and 2013, so the pressure is on as they prepare for the upcoming tournament.

Jasprit Bumrah, a key fast bowler, missed some games due to injury but is included in the squad. Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar mentioned they will monitor his fitness closely.

To ensure they are covered, Harshit Rana joins the team for the England ODIs before the Champions Trophy, keeping Bumrah’s health in mind.

The batting lineup will feature stars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Shubman Gill at the top. Adding depth to the middle order are KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant.

Hardik Pandya, who last played an ODI in the 2023 Men’s Cricket World Cup, will serve as the only pace-bowling all-rounder. Axar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar will handle spin duties, with Kuldeep Yadav returning from injury.

India’s pace attack includes Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami, alongside Bumrah and Hardik. This strong lineup gives them a solid chance at the trophy.

The squad looks like this: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Ravindra Jadeja.

In the last tournament, India reached the finals but fell short against Pakistan, so they’re eager to make a strong comeback.
