Champions Trophy 2025 – Ind vs Pak: Varun in, Harshit OUT … Sunil Gavaskar’s special advice for the match with Pakistan, will Rohit Brigade consider? – Champions Trophy 2025 India vs Pakistan Match Sunil Gavaskar Wants Varun Chakravarthy in Playing Xi Over Harshit Rana Ind vs Pak Tspoa
The ICC Champions Trophy is scheduled to compete between India and Pakistan on 23 February (Sunday) in 2025. This match will start at 2.30 pm Indian time at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. In the match, the Indian team will be captained by Rohit Sharma, while Mohammad Rizwan’s shoulders will be commanded by the Pakistani team.
Gavaskar gave this suggestion to Team India
With which combination the Indian team will come down with this Mahamukabale, everyone’s eyes are on it. Now former India captain and great batsman Sunil Gavaskar has given special suggestions to the Indian team led by Rohit Sharma. Gavaskar believes that the Indian team should go with an additional spinner in the match against Pakistan.
Sunil Gavaskar told Sports Today, ‘Fast bowlers of both teams took wickets. Shami got 5 wickets and Harshit Rana got 3 wickets. The fast bowlers took wickets, but the spinners maintained control and bowled tightly. I think he can take Varun Chakraborty as an additional spinner in the match against Pakistan.
If Varun Chakraborty plays against Pakistan in the match, Harshit Rana may have to stay out of playing-11. Also, Hardik Pandya may have to start bowling with Mohammed Shami. Gavaskar says, ‘Hardik Pandya can start with a new ball against Pakistan. The Indian team is aware of the pitch and knows what is necessary against Pakistan. Pakistan’s strength has always been its fast bowling, but now it does not have quality in the spin department. This is the reason that there is only one spinner (Abrar Ahmed) in the Pakistani team.
Will Varun get a chance?
Getting down with four spinners in this big match can also be risky for the Indian team. Anyway, Harshit Rana has a lot of trust in the captain and coach. That is why he received attention on left -handed fast bowler Arshdeep Singh in the match against Bangladesh. By the way, Sunil Gavaskar’s suggestion is also correct. If Varun gets a chance, he can create Pakistan’s problems with his mystery balls.
Varun Chakraborty was included in India’s Champions Trophy team at the last moment due to his great performance in T20 cricket, where he replaced Yashasvi Jaiswal. Varun has already experiences playing in UAE and has been a part of the Indian team in the T20 World Cup 2022.
