India Team Combination and Best Playing 11
Team India has had a fantastic start to 2025. They are currently leading the T20I series against England with a 2-1 record. Apart from their dominance in the T20Is, they had a lackluster performance in the ODIs. Their last ODIs The tournament which was last played in the year 2017, was won by Pakistan who defeated them in the final match. Let’s deep dive into India team combination and best playing 11.
Best Batting Squad
Rohit Sharma is confirmed to lead team India in the upcoming events, keeping in mind the official batting squad Shubman Gill will open alongside Yashasvi Jaiswal, with 3rd down potentially being Virat Kohli or KL Rahul. If the team, is brave enough for experiments they can try Shreyas Iyer for 3rd down wicket.
Meanwhile, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, and Rohit Sharma are expected to strengthen the middle order of the squad. The inclusion of Shreyas Iyer has added depth to their squad, as he has been in exceptional form in SMAT and previous IPL seasons.
All-rounder Unit
The All-rounder unit is led by Hardik Pandya, alongside, Washington Sundar, Axar Patel, and the veteran Ravindra Jadeja. Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya if find their sweet form, can play a major role in winning matches single-handedly. Until then, good team plays and decent performances from them are enough for the team to sweep past the opposition.
Bowling Attack
The bowling lineup has been strengthened with Mohammad Shami’s return to both the ODI and T20I squads and with the addition of Harshit Rana, who will be a replacement until Jasprit Bumrah gets fit enough to return. Shami will make his first international appearance since the 2023 ODI World Cup in the England T20I series. Jasprit Bumrah is also included, but his participation depends on fitness after an injury in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav will add depth to the attack.
The upcoming ODI series against England and the Champions Trophy lurking behind will be crucial for team India, in their quest for victory in the year 2025.
