05:10 PM- Well, 50 runs in a 50-over match. This is the summary of the Lankan innings. Sri Lanka won the toss and chose to bat first. Bumrah was on the money from the first over picking up the dangerous Perera out. Siraj then handled it all on his own. Four wickets in an over for him where he just broke the spine of the Lankan batting order. Siraj claimed 6 wickets and the rest of the three were easily cleared by Hardik Pandya. 



Interestingly the pitch wasn't a green top. It was more like of batting surface but the beauty of these three overshadowed it all. Just four bowlers were used by India and that was enough for Sri Lanka. 



This has now been noted down as the lowest total in the history of the Asia Cup Final, but we didn't expect it in that way.

Siraj back into the attack



Pramod Madushan comes in.



12.3- Wicket Number 8! Hardik Pandya gets a wicket. Good-directed bouncer and Wellalage didn't have much time to do anything. He gloved the ball and the keeper took an easy catch



11.4- Four. Hemantha Flicks and get full out of it.



New batter Hemantha walks out to the crease.



11.2- WICKET!! Siraj hits the middle stump. Kusal Mendis this time and Siraj continues his destruction work.



10.5- Hardik to Wellalage, The ball remains low and hits the pad. The pitching was outside leg.

The most successful teams of the Asia Cup have made it into the&nbsp;championship game yet another time. India, who won the Asia&nbsp;Cup seven times in total (1984, 1988, 1991, 1995, 2010, 2016, and 2018), would be eager to win the championship for a record-breaking eighth time. Sri Lanka, on the other hand, would definitely be looking to defend their Cup and equal the numbers with India.



India topped the Super 4 table and were the first team to qualify for the Asia Cup 2023 Finals. India won 4 out of the 5 matches they played in the tournament. They defeated the Number 1(then) ODI team Pakistan by a record margin of 228 runs.

Asia Cup 2023 Final: The Rain has arrived in Colombo, Know the Current Update | India vs Sri Lanka, Final

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. As per the reports in India Today, it is learned that the right-hander is likely to be there as the backup keeper for Rishabh Pant in the team. 
The reports stated that Sanju Samson's inclusion in the Indian team will depend on how the BCCI treats Gautam Gambhir. It is learned that if the head coach has the same say in the selection matters that he had during the Australia tour, then the keeper-batter might be included in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
The India squad for the Australia tour was mostly picked on the recommendation of Gautam Gambhir. The head coach played a huge role in the selection of Harshit Rana and Nitish Kumar Reddy. But the team failing badly there didn't go any good to the head coach. 
Some reports claimed that head coach Gautam Gambhir won't be having a say in selection matters. However, if that isn't the case, then the reports in India Today say that the head coach's favourite, Sanju Samson, will be picked for the team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
 Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup.
It is learned that Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper in the team, and Sanju Samson will be serving as backup. This will be a massive step for the Indian team going forward, as Samson has been in hot form in white-ball cricket, especially in T20 cricket. 
Sanju Samson has made a staggering return to the Indian T20I setup as he slammed three centuries in the two series that were played. The keeper-batter also has a great record in the ODIs as well as he has an average of over 56 in his short career and would want to cash on that as well. 
ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is all set to begin from 19th February. The Indian team for the tournament is all set to be announced soon, and it is learned that Rohit Sharma will be leading the team, which will see some of the expected names.

India keeper-batter Sanju Samson might be a surprise inclusion in the Indian team for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: Sanju Samson to get nod ahead in Indian squad? Massive report comes on Gautam Gambhir's 'favourite'

Chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar is all set to meet captain Rohit Sharma and head coach Gautam Gambhir along with the BCCI officials to do the post martom of of the team's poor outing in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25. The India team faced a 3-1 thrashing at the hands of Australia in a five-match series. 
Ajit Agarkar will be meeting Rohit Sharma and Gautam Gambhir on Sunday, the same day when the BCCI will be appointing Devajit Saikia as the new BCCI secretary. While this is one development, other claims the captain Rohit and Gambhir will be at the receiving end of some harsh questions by the BCCI.
The reports claimed that there will be informal and formal meetings among selectors and all the issues will be addressed. This will also include India's poor performances in the Tests last year. India faced a 3-0 whitewash at home against New Zealand and then suffered a loss to Australia. 
Another issue that will be addressed by the BCCI will be the poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Both the stalwarts of the Indian team failed badly in the entire Test season, and hence, discussions related to their future will be taking place as well among the board members and head coach. 
<h2>Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed - Reports</h2>
It is also learned that Ravichandran Ashwin's announcement of retirement during mid-tour will also be discussed, along with the rumours of things not good in the dressing room will be addressed as well. The source close to the developments told Hindustan Times: 
"The Australian tour, which immediately followed the 0-3 rout at home to New Zealand, was expected to decide the fate of many senior players. The 3-1 loss shut the door on India’s WTC final hopes, which is seen as a big setback. 
" Off-spinner R Ashwin’s mid-tour retirement and return home, murmurs of team discontent on tour, Rohit’s free fall in form that resulted in his sitting out the final Test at Sydney and the prolonged lean run of Virat Kohli has left Indian cricket faced with several searching questions. 
"All these are likely to be addressed in a number of formal and informal meetings among selectors and the administrators in the coming days." 
It remains to be seen what conclusion will come out once the BCCI officials meet. The next Test match of India will be played in June when the team will tour England.

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in India Today, it is learned that there is no certainty over the place of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The Indian squad for the tournament is all set to be announced next week. 
The reports claimed that KL Rahul might not make it into the Indian squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This is because his batting has been under the radar, especially after the poor innings that he played in the final of the ICC World Cup 2023 against Australia, which the Indian team lost. 
KL Rahul was recently dropped from the Indian ODI XI during the series against Sri Lanka. As per the reports, it is learned that Rishabh Pant will be the first-choice keeper-batter in the team, while Sanju Samson might get the nod as the second keeper in the team. 
<h2>Ravindra Jadeja hasn't impressed the BCCI selectors with his efforts with the bat and ball in the white-ball cricket. </h2>
On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja hasn't impressed the BCCI selectors with his efforts with the bat and ball in the white-ball cricket. Those in charge feel that Axar Patel is much more effective than Jadeja as the latter's batting hasn't been good since the last few times. 
Coming to Mohammed Shami, there is no clarity over the fitness of a fast bowler as of yet. However, if unfit, he won't be rushed into the team. He bowled 16 overs in the two games that be played in the Vijay Hazare Trophy 2024-25 and if he is deemed fit, he might be there. 
Shami has been out of action for a while. If the fast bowler achieves full fitness and will be there for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. He played a huge role for the team in the ICC World Cup 2023 and would want to continue the same form in the upcoming tournament as well.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 will be played in Pakistan and India will be playing their games in Dubai. The Rohit Sharma-led side will play their first game against Bangladesh on 20th February.

In what has been the latest development as per the reports in India Today, it is learned that there is no certainty over the place of KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

ICC Champions Trophy 2025: KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami likely to be dropped from India squad

Team India have had a hard time in the last few months. Especially in test cricket, where they were clear swept for the first time at home and then went on to lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as well. The poor form of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli was also one of the reasons behind India's poor show.
This has raised questions over the test futures for both Virat and Rohit. Though India don't have any red-ball games until June, that is why a number of former cricketers and cricket pundits have asked these two Indian stalwarts to go and participate in the domestic circuit to get back to their best form.
Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri, who was part of India's BGT trophy win in 2018 and 2021, urged these stars to participate in domestic cricket to regain their form. Irfan Pathan and Sunil Gavaskar also shared their opinions and asked every Indian international star to feature in domestic cricket.
Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir also made a statement during the Sydney press conference about the importance of domestic cricket. Does playing at the domestic level help to regain form? But have you ever thought about when was the last time Rohit or Virat played in domestic cricket?
<h2>When was the last time Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma played domestic cricket?</h2>
Virat Kohli played ten tests in 2024 and scored 417 runs at an average of 24.52, which is half of his career average. His first test of 2025 saw him scoring 17 and 6 in two innings at the SCG. So, Virat is clearly struggling to manage the requirements of test cricket. But do you know it has been over a decade since he has played a domestic game?
The last domestic match for Virat Kohli was back in 2012 for his state team, Delhi. He played a Ranji Trophy match against Uttar Pradesh in Ghaziabad and scored 14 and 43 across two innings of that game. This was the end of his domestic red-ball career. Since then, he has not returned to Delhi again at the FC level.
If we look at Rohit Sharma, it has been over nine years now. The Test captain featured in his last domestic game back in 2016. It was during a Duleep Trophy match when he played for India Blue. He used to bat in the middle order back then and batted at No. 4 and 3 in two innings, scoring 30 and 32, respectively.
It has been a long time since these two batted at the domestic level. Though playing at the domestic level won't guarantee you gaining the form back, it can certainly help when you spend more time on the crease. Will we see Virat and Rohit playing domestic cricket? It is something that totally depends on both of them.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are struggling with their form. Hence, many former cricketers have advised them to play domestic cricket.
