New Delhi. After winning the ICC T20 World Cup, the Indian team is freshly elevated and now the eyes are on the title of Champions Trophy 2025. As soon as the tournament gets closer, Team India is preparing to add another title to its trophy cabinet. Indian captain Rohit Sharma will once again take command of the team. Vice Captain Shubman Gill has been made the vice-captain of the team for the Champions Trophy. Talking to the media before the 3 -match ODI series against England, he answered sharp questions.
Before the ODI series against England, there was a lot of discussion about Karun Nair, who scored a series of centuries in domestic cricket, but the selectors did not give him a chance. This batter scored 779 runs in eight innings of Vijay Hazare Trophy at an average of 389.50. Despite this, he was not included in the Indian team for the ODI series against England. Talking about this, Gill said that Nair’s performance in domestic cricket does not mean that the existing players should be included in the team.
Gill said, “Karun performed brilliantly in the Vijay Hazare Trophy but this does not mean that the players of the current team be removed. They too have done well to reach this place, ”
