<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-uae-match-summary"><strong>PAK vs UAE Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>The first game of 23rd July was Pakistan vs UAE. UAE was already out of the tournament but a win for Pakistan was a must. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first. Though UAE got an exciting start, Pakistani bowlers were quick to make a comeback. After just three wickets down at 74 runs, Pakistan executed an excellent bowling performance to restrict UAE to 103 runs.</p>

<p>The chase for Pakistan never looked tough as the two openers were batting with free flow. Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali?played an outstanding innings to chase the target ensuring no damage of wickets. Pakistan chased down the target within 15 overs and got a "green Q" to their name in the Women's Asia Cup Points table.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="ind-vs-nep-match-summary"><strong>IND vs NEP Match Summary</strong></h2>



<p>Next, the evening match was played between India and Nepal. India were almost qualified with a high NRR and this was a practice kind of match for them. Harmanpreet Kaur got rest and Smriti Mandhana got the charge of the team.</p>



<p>India batted first and Shafali Verma got a new opening partner Hemlata and they constructed a 122-run opening partnership. Shafali Verma was leading the Indian batting with her 81 off 48 balls and a quick 28 by Rodrigues helped India to post 178 runs in their 20 overs.</p>

<p>All Nepal could do was stick to the crease and play with the merit of the ball, but they were forced to go unnatural. Arundhati Reddy started the things for India and she was joined by Radha Yadav. Deepti Sharma joined them and scalped three in the middle overs which ended Nepal's innings under 96 and India won the match by 82 runs.</p>

<p>The world of cricket has been buzzing since the BCCI appointed veteran Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir as India's head coach. Gautam Gambhir replaced the successful legacy of Rahul Dravid after the former coach?s success at the T20 World Cup. <br> <br>The ex-KKR mentor has been appointed for the role of Indian head coach for the next few years up to 2027. And with India expecting results from the new coach and his tactical brilliance, Gambhir has many recent tasks under his belt. From building a solid lineup in the ICC tournaments to implementing the results, all are on the cards for the legendary man. </p>

<p>The BGT is scheduled to be held in 2024?25, which will be Gambhir?s first assignment against a major team. India looks to keep up their good work on Australian soil, however, this time against a firm Aussie side. This will be their retention of the cup for the fifth time in a row if India can manage a win.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="champions-trophy-2025">Champions Trophy 2025</h3>



<p>India, after their win in the Champions Trophy under World Cup-winning skipper <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MS_Dhoni">MS Dhoni</a>, went on to secure their title as defending champions before they lost to arch-rivals Pakistan. Since then, this would be the first time the ICC has organized the Champions Trophy, which is to be held in Pakistan. If India participates in the tournament, the Men in Blue will be the favorites, and this will be Gambhir?s first major ICC tournament as team India head coach.  </p>

<p>India under Gambhir would eye the WTC 2025, as the Men in Blue seem to be in the hunt for their third consecutive World Test Championship final. However, the adamant Gambhir would not only settle with his rather splendid job but would also look to win the WTC for the first time in the third consecutive final, in case they secured a spot.  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="indias-tour-of-england-in-2025">India?s Tour of England in 2025</h3>



<p>India has never won against England on English soil in the longest format of the game, ever since 2007. With MS Dhoni or Virat Kohli, India?s most successful test captains, having failed to do it, will skipper Rohit Sharma, under Gambhir?s guidance, pull off this stellar task against the Bazball?  </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="t-20-world-cup-2026">T20 World Cup 2026</h3>



<p>The newly crowned World Champions of the shortest format of the game await their title defense under Gambhir in the upcoming T20 World Cup. And with the veterans having left out and several changes needing to be made, Gambhir has a lot to do with setting up a new promising team that can keep up India?s legacy in the tournament, especially with no team having defended their title in the ICC T20 World Cup before. <br><br><strong>ALSO READ: </strong><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/with-india-losing-two-consecutive-wtc-finals-what-changes-should-gambhir-try-in-the-double-home-series-against-bangladesh-and-new-zealand-for-wtc-2025/">With India losing two consecutive WTC finals, what changes should Gambhir try in the double home series against Bangladesh and New Zealand for WTC 2025?</a></p>

<p>Though India has several times been the best-placed team in the longer format of limited-overs cricket, they have faced some major backlashes in the tournament. Losing to Australia twice in the World Cup finals, dating back to 2003 and 2023. Since 2011, India has awaited their World Cup title for the third time, and Gambhir, who tasted the glory of the Cup as a player back in 2011, will look to reminisce about his brilliance in the upcoming installment of the tournament in 2027, especially with the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma standing at the footstep of retirement.</p>

<p><strong>IND vs RSA Final:</strong> Only a few hours are left for the last and decisive match of T20 World Cup 2024 to begin. The final match of the tournament between India and South Africa will be played at Kensington Oval in Barbados.

<p>Rohit Sharma and company's World Cup campaign has been excellent, the team has not lost a single match in the tournament so far. In the semi-final match, India won the match against England by 68 runs and made its place in the semi-finals. On the other hand, South Africa has also not lost a single match in the tournament, Aiden Markram and company made it to the finals by defeating Afghanistan by nine wickets in the semi-final match.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Team India Expected one change in Playing 11</h2>



<ul>
<li><strong>Sanju Samson to Replace Shivam Dube</strong></li>
</ul>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/06/Screenshot-2024-06-29-092700-jpg.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-141949" /></figure>



<p>Shivam Dube was selected in the Indian squad for the Men's T20 World Cup 2024 on the basis of his exceptional performance with the bat in IPL 2024 where he scored 396 runs in 14 matches at an average of 36.00 and and a good looking strike rate of 162.30. His ability to attack the spinners from the word go made a him a good option for the slow conditions of the West Indies and his ability to chip in with some useful overs with the ball gave him the advantage over Rinku Singh. </p>



<p>However, the 31 year old has failed to live upto expectations and barring decent innings of 34 and 28 runs against Bangladesh and Australia respectively, the Southpaw hasn't contributed according to the expectations. Rohit has not used him much with the ball either and his inconsistent displays with the the bat make his place in the playing 11 even more questionable. </p>



<p>With the T20 World Cup trophy on the line against the South Africans, the Indian team management might just decide to replace Dube with Sanju Samson in the playing 11 for the upcoming important clash. </p>



<p>The Rajasthan Royals skipper has the ability to play pace well and the pitch of the Kensington Oval stadium of Barbados is expected to favour the fast bowlers so Sanju can be a good option for the Rohit Sharma-led team. He was at his best with the bat in IPL which made the selectors select him over KL Rahul. While he wasn't able to do much with the bat in the warmup game against Bangladesh, his inclusion in the playing 11 can surely prove to be an X factor for the Men in Blue as the Proteas might not be expecting their opposition to make such a big change and they might end up getting caught off guard. </p>



<p>Samson's inclusion in the playing 11 might also allow Virat Kohli to bat at his favourable number three spot and that might work wonders for the 2007 champions. </p>



<p><strong>India's likely playing 11 for the final against South Africa:</strong> Sanju Samson, Rohit Sharma (Captain), Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (WK), Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya (VC), Ravindra Jadeja, Arshdeep Singh, Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah. </p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="afghanistan-vs-australia-match-review">Afghanistan vs Australia Match Review</h2>



<p>Kangaroo captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and invited Afghanistan to bat first. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 148 runs at the loss of six wickets in 20 overs. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran kept the target in check from the team's side, Gurbaz scored 60 runs in 49 balls with the help of four fours and four sixes, while Zadran scored 51 runs in 48 balls.</p>



<p>After the dismissal of both openers, the team was seen struggling. Afghanistan lost their first wicket at 118 runs, and even after that, the team could score only 148 runs. In bowling from Australia's side, ODI captain Pat Cummins took three wickets for 28 runs in four overs. Right-arm legbreak spinner Adam Zampa took two wickets while Stoinis took one wicket.</p>



<p>The performance of the Australian openers who came out to chase the target of 148 was not very good. Travis Head got out on 0, and David Warner got out on 3 runs. But then Glenn Maxwell came between the victories of Australia and Afghanistan. Maxwell not only handled the Australian innings but also hit big shots against the Afghan bowlers. He played an innings of 59 runs in just 41 balls with the help of six fours and three sixes.</p>

<p>Maxwell had almost taken the match away from the Afghanistan team, then Afghan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib entered. Afghanistan's winning hero Gulbadin Naib took 4 important wickets for just 20 runs in four overs. He sealed the match for Afghanistan by taking the wickets of Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David and Pat Cummins.</p>

<p>Australia, one of the strong contenders for T20 World Cup 2024, was all-out in 19.2 overs against Afghanistan. If Australia had managed to defeat Afghanistan today, India and Australia would have qualified for the semi-finals. But now that the tournament is fully open, Afghanistan's qualification hopes are still alive.</p>

<p>The South Africans successfully managed to defend a target of 195 runs as fast bowler Kagiso Rabada played a crucial role in his team's win with figures of 3-18 in his four overs.</p>



<p>Chasing the target of 195 runs, the United States got off to a good start as opener Steven Taylor (24 runs) leading the assault with the bat against the pace bowling unit of the Proteas but Kagiso Rabada got the better of the Southpaw as he sent him back to?the?pavilion.</p>



<p>Following the dismissal of Taylor, the co-hosts kept on losing wickets at regular intervals with Corey Anderson (12 runs), captain Aaron Jones (0 runs), Nitish Kumar (8 runs) and Shayan Jahangir (3 runs) walking back to the dugout without scoring valuable runs.</p>



<p>It looked really difficult for the Americans to get back in the match but the duo of Harmeet Singh (38 runs) and Andries Gous (80 runs) stitched a 91 run stand for sixth wicket and brought their team back in the game. This partnership almost snatched the game away from the Proteas as in the final two overs, the Aaron Jones-led team needed just 28 runs to win the match.</p>



<p>But, Kagiso Rabada decided to take matters in his own hands and in the 19th over of the USA inning, he got the much needed breakthrough again as he removed Harmeet Singh on the first delivery which made the assault of the co-hosts come to an halt.</p>



<p>Following the dismissal of Harmeet, things got tougher for the Americans and they eventually lost the match by 18 runs. Andries Gous was the best batter of the match as he played an unbeaten knock of 80 runs in just 47 balls which included five sixes?and?five?fours.</p>

<p>Team India have been going through a transition period at the moment. They have found themselves on the receiving end in the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 and are on the verge of getting eliminated from the World Test Championship final race.</p>
<p>India have retained the BGT trophy for ten years, and it looks like Australia will end that drought and regain the trophy as they are leading by 2-1 with one game left to play. Not just the performance; some reports are also claiming a rift in the Indian camp.</p>
<p>Team India have struggled badly in the series with the bat. The form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli has not scored runs as they would have liked. That's where India would have liked a solid batter like Cheteshwar Pujara, who has had immense success on previous Australian tours and played a crucial role in India's BGT triumphs in the last two tours.</p>
<h2>IND vs AUS: Ajit Agarkar declined Gautam Gambhir's request to pick Cheteshwar Pujara for BGT series - Reports</h2>
<p>According to some media reports, the Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir wanted to include veteran Indian batter Cheteshwar Pujara in the Indian squad for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, but Ajit Agarkar and his team declined his request. Pujara has done a great job on Australian soil and is one of the leading scorers in the BGT history. He knows the conditions well and has done well against the likes of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Nathan Lyon.</p>
<p>Notably, Pujara scored the most runs in the BGT 2018-19 and finished the tournament with 521 runs at an average of 74.42 with three hundreds and one fifty when India won the first-ever test series on Australian soil. Then again, he scored 271 runs in the BGT 2020-21 and played crucial innings in Sydney and the historic Gabba win.</p>
<p>In Australia, the 36-year-old has played 11 tests and scored 993 runs at an average of 47.28. It has been learned that Gambhir even talked about Pujara's inclusion after India won the first test in Perth. But the Indian selection committee didn't approve his request.</p>
<p>Pujara played his last test match for India during the World Test Championship final 2023 at the Oval. His form declined after that but he has done well at the domestic level. Team India are currently struggling to score runs and they need a sound performance to level the series with a win at the SCG.</p>

Cheteshwar Pujara scored the most runs for India during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2018-19 for India when India won the test series in Australia.

Gambhir vs Agarkar? Selection Committee declined Head Coach's request of Cheteshwar Pujara's inclusion for BGT 2024-25: Reports

<p><strong>IND vs AUS 5th Test: </strong>India lost at Melbourne Cricket Ground on the boxing day test even after they were considered the better side at the MCG. Now, after conceding a massive 184-run loss in the fourth test, India and Australia are set to take a bout at Sydney Cricket Ground for the last time in the series and the first time in the year 2025.</p>
<p>The defeat at the MCG was a key moment in the series. Big names like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma failed to shine, and the middle order fell apart when the team needed them most. Australia’s star bowlers, Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, made life difficult for India, showing their weakness in overseas conditions. This loss sparked heated discussions about India’s plans and preparation for away games.</p>
<p>The result shook Indian cricket, raising serious questions about Rohit Sharma’s captaincy and Virat Kohli’s form. Fans and experts began calling for changes, suggesting new players should get a chance to step up. With young talent waiting in the wings, all eyes were on the senior players to prove they could still perform under pressure.</p>
<p>With a scoreline of 2-1, Australia is dominating and is a high favorite for the trophy. The only hope for Indian side is that the last test is set to be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground. </p>
<h2><strong>India's history at the SCG</strong></h2>
<p>The Indian cricket team’s last Test loss at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) came in January 2008 during the heated 2007–08 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia won by 122 runs in a game packed with drama, including the infamous "Monkeygate" controversy between Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds. That defeat became a turning point for India, building the team’s resilience and setting the stage for stronger performances at the SCG in the years to come.</p>
<p>Since that 2008 loss, India hasn’t lost a Test at the SCG. A standout moment was the thrilling draw in January 2021, where Ravichandran Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari battled through injuries to save the match. Their gutsy effort helped India hold their ground and ultimately secure a historic series victory in Australia, earning widespread admiration.</p>
<p>India’s overall Test record at the SCG stands at 1 win, 5 losses, and 7 draws, with their only win dating back to 1978. The SCG holds a special place in India’s cricketing journey, filled with moments of struggle and triumph. From the heartbreak of 2008 to remarkable comebacks, India’s performances at the SCG showcase the team’s growth and determination in world cricket.</p>

<p></p>

With immense pressure now on India, the history of Sydney gives some hope to the Indian team. The SCG journey reflects growth, from the controversial 2008 loss to unbeaten performances, including a heroic 2021 draw, showcasing resilience and evolving strength in overseas cricket.

India's SCG journey highlights resilience, overcoming setbacks like the 2008 loss and achieving iconic moments like the 2021 draw.  

India's Record at Sydney Cricket Ground Before the IND vs AUS 5th Test

<p><span>India captain Rohit Sharma bid adieu to 2024 in a staggering Instagram post. The senior batter posted a video on Instagram on Tuesday, December 31, of his best and worst moments of 2024. This comes amid the talks related to his retirement. </span></p>
<p><span>Rohit Sharma had a roller coaster ride in 2024 as the captain had his best and worst part of his career. The India captain started the year on high as under him India won the Test match at Centurion and went on to draw the series. After that, he was at his best in the Test series against England. </span></p>
<p><span>Rohit Sharma with the team full of youngsters won the Test series against England. Under his leadership, India won the five-match series by a massive margin of 4-1. He led from the front and also slammed two centuries in the series, helping the team win. </span></p>
<p><span>After that, Rohit Sharma was at his best in the IPL as he was amongst the highest run-getters for Mumbai Indians. He also slammed the century there. He also returns to the T20Is before the Tests as slammed a century there as well. </span></p>
<h2><span>The best moment for Rohit Sharma was in June when under his leadership India won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024.</span></h2>
<p><span>The best moment for Rohit Sharma was in June when under his leadership India won the ICC T20 World Cup 2024. He was the leading run-getter for the team in the tournament as he top-scored and helped the India team end their ICC title drought. </span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Things didn't go well for Rohit Sharma after that. Since then has been going through a rough patch in the Tests. The India captain has failed to get going and under his leadership team faced the whitewash first time at home as they lost the series to New Zealand by the margin of 3-0. </span></p>
<p><span>He is currently in Australia but things have been poor for him as well. The batter has scored just 31 runs in the three games and also under him India is behind in the series by 2-1. He has registered scores of 3, 6, 10, 3 and 9 and following this, there have been a lot of talks related to his retirement as well. </span><span></span></p>
<p><span>He posted the video with caption: "For all the ups &amp; downs, and everything in between, Thank you 2024."</span></p>

<p><span>India is all set to lock horns with England in the three-match ODI series. This will be the only series for the Men in Blue before the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and it will be extremely important for the team as they would want to look at their combination for the tournament.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The ODI series between England and India will get underway from 6th February at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur. The second game of the series is scheduled to take place on 9th February in Cuttack, followed by the last match to be played on 12th at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>There have been several reports that have claimed that India will be playing the series in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah. This is because BCCI wants their premier players to be rested and fresh for the ICC Champions Trophy 2024, which will be a crucial event for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>If the reports emerge to be true, then it will be a massive problem for the Indian team that they will be playing without their captain. This has raised speculations about who will be leading the team in the three-match ODI series against the full-strength England team at home.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<h2><span>Who will captain India in the absence of Rohit Sharma during England ODIs</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></h2>
<p><span>With Rohit Sharma being rested for the three-match ODI series, it is expected that Shubman Gill will be captaining the team against England. The young batter was recently appointed as the vice-captain of the team in the white-ball format after the team went through the transition.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>It is expected that the squad for the England series will be similar to what India will be named for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Therefore, it will be a great opportunity for the young players who will be picked to make their case strong for the tournament.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Shubman Gill, since the last few years, has been the best batter for India in the ODIs. He has shown his real class with the bat and would want to carry on the same form. He also was captain of the team during the T20I series against Zimbabwe and will be keen to replicate the same performance.</span></p>

There have been several reports that have claimed that India will be playing the series in the absence of Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah

Who will captain India if Rohit Sharma, Jasprit Bumrah and Virat Kohli will be rested for England ODIs

<p>Team India are currently in Australia for the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The fifth and final test will end on January 7; after that, India will play three T20Is and three ODIs against England at home between January 22 and February 12.</p>
<p>This will be the last three ODIs for India ahead of the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025, and India will look to prepare for the upcoming mega event. However, there has been news that India might rest Jasprit Bumrah, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli.</p>
<p>Being India's premier pacer, Bumrah has been doing too much in Australia, but resting out-of-form Virat and Rohit might not be ideal. Hence, we will talk about three reasons why India should not rest Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli from England ODIs.</p>
<h2>Three reasons why India should not drop Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from England ODIs ahead of ICC Champions Trophy 2025</h2>
<p><strong>1. Form of both players</strong></p>
<p>Dropping a player who is struggling with form might not do good for the team. Both Virat and Rohit have struggled in Australia, and they are searching for runs badly. Consistent failures must have hurt their confidence as well. Hence, at home on Indian batting pitches, it can be ideal to get back to form. But if India rest them, they won't have the time to get back to form and will enter the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after a string of low scores.</p>
<p><strong>2. Only ODIs to prepare for Champions Trophy 2025</strong></p>
<p>Since the ODI World Cup 2023 at home, Rohit and Virat have only played three ODI matches. Though they have played test cricket consistently, ODI format is a different game altogether. Hence, to get back into rhythm, the upcoming ODI series against England can be perfect. At least England are going with the same team that will feature in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. That is why India must need to do and give the game time to their main batters whom you expect to fire in the mega event.</p>
<p><strong>3. Managing Replacement</strong></p>
<p>The form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli is under scrutiny, and many questions have been raised about their position in tests. However, ODI cricket is a totally different format. But loss of form can sometimes hurt the confidence, and it can affect other formats as well. Hence, India should play them in England ODIs because if they fail, then they can pick the backup batters for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. That means if these two don't score runs against England, then India can take some hard decisions and pick other players as replacements.</p>

The Indian management is looking to rest Jasprit Bumrah, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma from England ODIs ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025.

3 Reasons why Resting Virat and Rohit from England ODIs can be blunder ahead of Champions Trophy 2025

3-reasons-why-resting-virat-and-rohit-from-england-odis-can-be-blunder-ahead-of-champions-trophy-2025

<p><span>Batting great Sunil Gavaskar gave a massive suggestion to the Indian team going forward in Test cricket. He said that the Rohit Sharma-led should keep an eye on Venkatesh Iyer for the red-ball cricket as he can be handy for the team.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>India hasn't been blessed with as many fast-bowling all-rounders as they would've wanted. After Kapil Dev, it was Hardik Pandya who took the mantle and has been doing a staggering job for the team in the white-ball cricket but his fitness hasn't supported him at all.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Hardik Pandya played a few Tests for India but couldn't carry on in the format. The all-rounder last played in 2018 and, after that, has been focusing on white-ball cricket after that, India tried Shardul Thakur, and although he did a decent job, the quality wasn't there, and he was dropped.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>India now has included Nitish Kumar Reddy in the team and the all-rounder has been doing a great job in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25.

<p><span>But it's fair to say that the quality of the ball still has been lacking.

<p><span>"India must also keep an eye on Venkatesh Iyer, who can be another fine all-rounder and is a left-hander to bat.

<p>After the end of the 2025 IPL Mega-Auction, a lot of teams have strengthened their respective batting units. The dominance of the batters is going to increase even more this time around in the Biggest T20 tournament in the entire world and it's going to be really interesting to see which teams walks out on to the field with the strongest batting unit. </p>
<p>Every year, the batsmen create new records in the IPL and now the runs figure of 250 is looking pretty common these days. Not just this, scoring centuries has also become pretty common for the batters. In such a situation, let's take a look at 3 teams who have the strongest batting-unit in IPL 2025</p>
<h3><strong>Three IPL Teams who have the strongest batting-unit in IPL 2025:</strong></h3>
<h3><strong>1. Sunrisers Hyderabad</strong></h3>
<p>Pat Cummins-led Sunrisers Hyderabad will once again walk out on the field in the IPL with the strongest batting unit. The likes of Travis Head, Ishan Kishan, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Abhishek Sharma and Heinrich Klaasen are a part of the squad of SRH and these players have the potential in them to dominate any opposition bowling unit. </p>
<p>While Kishan is a new addition, the other four players were a part of the Hyderabad team in the previous edition of the tournament too and they wrecked havoc in the 2024 edition of the IPL as they crossed the 260 run mark twice verus the Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) and five time winners Mumbai Indians (MI).The presence of these four players and the addition of hard hitting Indian batter Ishan Kishan makes the IPL 2024 runners-up a force to reckon with. </p>
<p></p>
<h3><strong>2. Kolkata Knight Riders</strong></h3>
<p>IPL 2024 winners and reigning champions Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) are blessed to have a solid and a strong batting unit ahead of IPL 2025. The presence of the likes of Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Rinku Singh, Sunil Narine, Venkatesh Iyer, Andre Russell, Quinton de Kock and Ajinkya Rahane can target any bowler from the word go. The aggressive batting nature of Gurbaz, De Kock, Narine and Venky Iyer along with the solid middle order presence of the duo of Russell and Rinku make the team of KKR look like a complete and a really formidable one. The Reigning Champs are surely going to be a dangerous side to bowl against.</p>
<p></p>
<h4><strong>3. Delhi Capitals </strong></h4>
<p>After the conclusion of the 2025 IPL Mega-Auction, the Delhi Capitals managed to include some really incredible batters in their squad which consists of the likes of KL Rahul, Tristan Stubbs, Jack Fraser McGurk and Harry Brook. Besides them, the presence of experienced all-rounder Axar Patel provides a lot of stability to their middle-order. This time around, the Delhi franchise have set up themselves as a batting-heavy team, which will create a lot of difficulties for the opposition bowlers.</p>

<p>Rohit Sharma, the current captain of the Indian Cricket Team is set to take the big decision of retiring from Test Cricket following the conclusion of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy series versus the Australians. According to a media report, Rohit will be taking a big decision regarding his career after the conclusion of the ongoing series. </p>
<p>Let us tell you that the Men in Blue have failed to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy series, a series which the Indians have won on the previous four occasions. On the other hand, the personal performance of the 37-year-old with the bat have been poor too, managing to score just 31 runs in five innings versus the Aussies in the current edition of the BGT. </p>
<p>According to the news report of Times of India, the top officials of thr BCCI and the National Team selectors have already talked to Rohit and it looks like the 'Hitman' will not be changing his decision of retiring. While the date of his retirement has not been revealed yet, some news reports suggest that the 37-year-old will be taking the tough decision after the conclusion of the Sydney Test-Match. </p>
<p>If the two time WTC runners-up manage to qualify for the 2023-25 WTC Final, then Rohit can carry on as the captain of the team for some more time and he will most likely have a discussion with the selectors regarding staying on as the skipper. </p>
<p>Following the team's defeat in the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test, the Indian captain was deeply hurt by the defeat. On one hand, elite seamer Jasprit Bumrah has single handedly dismissed Australian batters 30 times in the ongoing series while Rohit on the other hand, has managed to amass just 31 runs. It's possible that the retirement of the 'Hitman' is not that far but he won't be moving away from Red-ball Cricket without fighting back in the Sydney Test-Match.</p>
<h2><strong>What did Indian Captain Rohit Sharma say following the team's embarrassing defeat in Melbourne? </strong></h2>
<p>The Indian Team fell to an embarrassing 184 runs defeat in the Melbourne Boxing-Day Test-Match versus the Australians and this defeat meant that the home team have taken a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. After the defeat, Skipper Rohit Sharma that there are many things that are not happening according to his wishes. He also said that this defeat is mentally disturbing. </p>
<p><em><strong>"It's evident that we have had a few unfavorable-outcomes, and as captain, I find this disheartening. Many of the things I'm attempting to do as a batter are not working out and it's upsetting to the mind," the Indian captain said.</strong></em></p>
