Lost to New Zealand, also lost to Australia, now the question is what will happen against England in ODI, T20 series and Champions Trophy? The biggest question regarding the Champions Trophy is which 15 players will get a chance to play in it? If reports are to be believed, Team India's selection may take place on January 11. There is another big news that a player who is close to Gautam Gambhir and has not played the ODI format yet may get a chance in the Champions Trophy team. We are talking about Varun Chakraborty who may get a chance in the Indian team for the Champions Trophy. Chakraborty has played for Kolkata Knight Riders and he also played T20 series in Sri Lanka last year where he performed amazingly.
According to PTI report, if Varun Chakraborty gets a chance in the squad, then Kuldeep Yadav may remain out of the team. Kuldeep Yadav was part of the team that won the T20 World Cup last year. The answer to why Kuldeep will stay out has not been received yet. Fitness may be an issue but this player has started practicing in the nets. However, Ravi Bishnoi is also giving competition to Varun Chakraborty. This leg spinner is also a contender to be included in the Champions Trophy squad.
In the Champions Trophy, only one batsman, Rinku Singh or Tilak Verma, will be included in the squad. Tilak Verma has performed amazingly recently. This player had scored two consecutive centuries in the T20 series against South Africa. After this, he also played in Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, hence there are high chances of his coming into the team. According to PTI reports, Ravindra Jadeja will also not be able to make a place in the Champions Trophy squad, Axar Patel will get preference over him.
