New Delhi. The Champions Trophy between India and New Zealand has only a few days before the last match of Group A of 2025. There is concern about the fitness of Team India captain Rohit Sharma. According to reports, Rohit is struggling with hamstring injury. He suffered this injury while fielding during the second match played against Pakistan in Dubai. These things are coming out that the captain can sit out in the match against New Zealand.
Rohit was out of the field for some time during the Champions Trophy match played against Pakistan and the vice-captain in his non-Hajari was handling the responsibility of Shubman Gill captaincy. However, Rohit later returned and played an important role in India’s successful chase. Questions are being raised about their fitness. It is being said that Team India, who has secured a place in the semi -finals, can get down without a regular captain in the last match.
India has already qualified for the semi -finals. The match against New Zealand is to be played on Sunday, which will decide which team will be at the top in Group A. According to the Champions Trophy format, the team, which is on top in the group, will take on the second place team of the second group. Which team will face India in the semi -finals when both Group B matches are held. Australia is to play Afghanistan while South Africa plays against England.
Will India take the risk of feeding Rohit?
The question is whether India will take the risk of putting Rohit against New Zealand? Their semi -final match is on March 2 and he can relax his captain to keep it fit so that he stays perfectly fit in the semi -finals and finals (if they qualify). According to reports, on Wednesday, Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar participated in the training session and one of them can replace Rohit.
