Team India Players in Domestic Cricket: The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 tournament is just a few days away. Before that, BCCI asked Team India players to play domestic cricket after the defeat in the BGT.
Accordingly, the star players of Team India turned to domestic cricket. However, these 5 players of Team India have been flops.
Concerns Grow as Team India Players Struggle in Domestic Cricket
The worrying thing is that 5 players who were selected for the Champions Trophy returned cheaply. Captain Rohit Sharma, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant were flops. Four of these 5 players could not even reach double figures. Therefore, will these players help Team India win the Champions Trophy? The question is now being raised on this occasion.
Team India’s successful batsman Shreyas Iyer reached double figures alone. However, Shreyas could not do much. The batsman, who plays for Mumbai, was dismissed for 11 runs in the match against Jammu and Kashmir. Before Shreyas, both Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma were a huge disappointment. Rohit Sharma’s flop show was also seen in the Ranji Trophy.
Mumbai captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and decided to bat. Yashasvi and Rohit came into the field as the opening pair. However, both of them quickly returned to the field. Yashasvi scored 4 runs and Rohit 3 runs. Team India’s opening pair was dismissed in this way.

Pant’s Struggles Add to India’s Woes
Shubman Gill, who led Punjab, was also a huge disappointment. Shubman was responsible for giving Punjab a good start. However, Shubman Gill could only score 4 runs against Karnataka. Shubman faced 8 balls and returned.
On the other hand, Team India’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant’s condition in terms of runs was seen worse than Gill’s. The bat of this explosive batsman from Delhi is not at all smooth. Pant could not reach double figures either.
Pant scored 1 run in 10 balls and returned to the tent. Seeing such a performance of these 5 batsmen of Team India before the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, Indian cricket fans have become worried.
