New Delhi:
Team India for Champions Trophy 2025: The “temporary Indian team” for the Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan-Dubai next month will be announced today on Saturday. This will be done by Chief Selector Ajit Agarkar around 12:30 pm. It will be telecast live on all language channels of Star Sports apart from Jio Cinema App and Sports 18. If Rohit Sharma will once again be elected as the captain, then according to sources, Jasprit Bumrah can be given the vice-captaincy of the team. But apart from this, two cricketers have given a lot of tension to the selectors, who have set domestic cricket on fire. Let us know about these also
1. Karun Nair
This time the Vijay Hazare tournament will be completely remembered for Karun Nair. Just imagine how difficult it would be for Agarkar and Company to ignore the average of 752 in 7 innings of 8 matches. Kuran, who took Vidarbha to the final on his own, has scored 5 centuries and one half-century before the final. His best score is 163 runs unbeaten. And Sachin’s praise before selection has become a big recommendation for him.
Sachin’s “recommendation”!
Karun’s performance has also touched the heart of legendary Sachin on the eve of selection. He said that Nair’s performance was “nothing short of extraordinary”. Also, Sachin appealed to Nair to continue this performance. Sachin wrote a message on “Stay strong and seize every opportunity” In fact, Sachin’s praise is nothing less than a recommendation. Now let’s see how much impact the performance and praise has on Saturday.
Devdutt Padikkal left the giants behind
Karnataka’s lefty batsman Devdutt Padikkal left behind veteran Virat Kohli and young Gaikwad in List A cricket. Padikkal has been one of the stormiest performers in the season. In the semi-final against Haryana, Devdutt scored 86 runs on 113 balls. With this innings, he became the fastest batsman to score 2000 runs in the history of Vijay Hazare. And in reaching two thousand runs in this level of cricket, he has left behind Gaikwad (58.16), Michael Bevan (57.86), Virat Kohli (57.05) and Abdi Villiers (53.47) in terms of average in List A. Devdutt’s average is 82.38, which makes him a specialist ODI batsman.
