The Statesman Siliguri
|February 17, 2025
India, the reigning ICC Men's T20 World Cup winners, enter the Champions Trophy with a 3-0 series sweep over England.
The batters impressed with their scintillating knocks, while the bowlers were at their proficient best to bamboozle the England batters.
With all their matches in Dubai, India will be keen to continue the good momentum they have right now into going all the way towards the Champions Trophy.
Here's a SWOT analysis from IANS on the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team taking part in the Champions Trophy happening for the first time after 2017.
Strength: Undoubtedly, India's main strength lies in their top four powerful batters.
Captain Rohit Sharma showed sparks of his ultra-attacking way of playing in the first ten overs while hitting 119 in Cuttack, while Shubman Gill stepped up to hit a fine century in Ahmedabad.
The Rohit-Gill opening combination has been the most productive pairing for India.
