After clinching the historic Test series in Pakistan, Bangladesh would be confident enough to offer some challenges to the Indian team in India. The Bangladesh Cricket Board have announced the Bangladesh squad against India which is almost similar to the one, that traveled to Pakistan. 



Shoriful Islam, the 23 year-old pacer, has missed out on the Bangladesh squad. He suffered through a groin injury in the Rawalpindi test against Pakistan, which they won by 10 wickets. 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/shoriful.jpg" alt="Bangladesh Squad ANNOUNCED For India Tour!

His unavailability proved to be Jaker's opportunity! Jaker Ali, the right-handed Wicketkeeper batter got his first call for the red ball game. The 26-year-old, Ali has an average of 44 in the 81 innings he has batted on. 



Let's take a look at the Bangladesh Squad for India tour 2024:

The Indian Cricket Team are set to begin their long Test Cricket season and they will kick things off with a two-match Test Series versus Bangladesh. The first match will be played at the M.A Chidambaram Stadium of Chennai on 19th September and the game will commence at 9:30 AM IST.



Ahead of the Bangladesh test series, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has given a confirmation that they will be rotating their seamers in the really long Test-Season.



Rohit stated that the Men in Blue will follow a similar strategy to the test series versus England, where the duo of Mohammad Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah got rested for a test match each.



The Men in Blue have announced their squad for just the first test versus Bangladesh. It's anticipated that one of Siraj or Bumrah will be given a break ahead of the three-match Test-Series versus New Zealand.



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/gettyimages-1406369659-612x612-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-147241" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj leave the field for rain during the second day of the fifth Test between England and India at Edgbaston on July 02, 2022 in Birmingham, England.

The Rohit Sharma-led team are going to participate in 10 Test matches ahead of the WTC Final next year. They will be locking horns against Australia in December of this year. This year's Border-Gavaskar Trophy series will consist of five Test-Matches.&nbsp;



?I really want our team's best-players to take part in all of the games our team plays in but unfortunately for us, it's not going to happen. You have to take a look at what's best for the side and manage the workload of the best bowlers accordingly. It all depends on the workload-management of the players,? Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said ahead of the first test versus Bangladesh.



"We will be evaluating the workload of the guys in a proper-manner and we have found success in implementing it in the past as well. In the England test-series, we gave much needed breaks to (Mohammad) Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah. So we will keep monitoring their workload. You want each and every player to take part in all of the matches, we are blessed to have some of the best fast bowlers in our squad. We witnessed many youngsters shine in this year's Duleep Trophy. I am not at all concerned about the type of bowlers waiting in the dugout,? Rohit added.



The Men in Blue are blessed to have a lot of talented pacers in their squad. The likes of Mukesh Kumar, Akash Deep, Arshdeep Singh and Yash Dayal have performed exceptionally well in first-class Cricket and are expected to do the same for the National team as well.?



The quality of the Indian Cricket Team's backup seam bowlers was visible during the 2020-2021 tour of Australia, where the Ajinkya Rahane-led team secured a historic test-series win despite fielding a really inexperienced fast-bowling unit. The trio of Navdeep Saini, Mohammad Siraj and T Natarajan emerged as the stars in that series.?

Jasprit Bumrah set to get rested in the second test vs Bangladesh | Rohit Sharma drops a huge hint

jasprit-bumrah-set-to-get-rested-in-the-second-test-vs-bangladesh-rohit-sharma-drops-a-huge-hint

Watch: India's Rishabh Pant Hilariously Helps Bangladesh Set The Field on Day 3 of 1st Test: The first test-match of the two-match Test-Series between India and Bangladesh is currently going on at the Chepauk Stadium of Chennai. The Men in Blue currently have the advantage as they have taken a lead of 432 runs in the match.?



The duo of Shubman Gill (86*runs in 137 deliveries) wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant (82 runs in 108 deliveries) are looking in a really good nick out there in the middle for the Rohit Sharma-led team in third-day of the first-test in the city of Chennai on Thursday.&nbsp;



Even though both of them started things off on a cautious note, they are showcasing an attacking intent as they are going after the Bangladeshi bowlers following the conclusion of the drinks break.&nbsp;



Both of the youngsters were given lifelines as the Bangladeshi fielders dropped two-catches. The fielding setup of the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team was scrutinised by Tamim Iqbal and Ravi Shastri for showcasing a poor fielding effort in the field and also for showcasing a lack-of-intent.&nbsp;



In what proved to be yet another impertinent example of how things are going on for the visitors, Pant was hilariously witnessed setting the field of Bangladesh on the third day of the first-test.&nbsp;



?Abey yeha aayega ek fielder. Yeha fielder kam hai (Hey, make a fielder stand here. The number of fielders at this spot are less),? Rishabh told Najmul Hossain Shanto, pointing towards the leg-side region.&nbsp;



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/JioCinema/status/1837366821977997802
</div></figure>



The Tigers skipper in the end actually made a fielder stand in the mid-wicket region after the suggestion given by the Indian Wicketkeeper batsman



Interestingly, Men in Blue's former captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni had done something similar during the 2019 One Day Cricket World Cup. MSD had told Bangladesh?s Sabbir Rahman to change the position of a fielder and Rahman had gladly obliged.?



Rohit Sharma and his men have reached a score of 205 runs at the loss of three wickets at the lunch mark in their second inning and they have taken?a healthy 432 run-lead versus Bangladesh on the third-day of the first-test match on Saturday.



Gill and Pant are still batting at the middle and have crossed the 50 runs mark. They are involved in a partnership of 138* runs.



On the second day of the opening-test game, the visitors got all-out for a mere score of 149 runs in their first inning, giving the Indian Cricket Team a huge 227 run lead in the first-inning. Rohit Sharma and his men had scored 376 runs in their first inning.?

Ravi Ashwin surpasses Courtney Walsh and becomes the 8th-highest Wicket-Taker in Test Cricket: Indian Cricket Team?s star off-spinner Ravi Ashwin, who is sitting comfortably at the top of ICC Men?s Test-Bowling rankings, went past West Indies? former seamer Courtney Walsh?s wicket tally of 519 scalps on Sunday (22nd of September) to become the eighth-highest wicket taker in Test Cricket.



The veteran off-spinner completed this accomplishment by dismissing Bangladesh?s Shakib Al Hasan during the morning session of the fourth day of the ongoing First Test-Match of the two encounter series between India &amp; Bangladesh at the Chepauk Stadium of Chennai.



By picking up his fourth-wicket of the second inning, Ashwin has increased his wicket tally to 520 wickets in 101 Test-matches for the Men in Blue.



The record of picking up the highest number of wickets in the longest format of the game belongs to Sri Lanka?s legendary spinner Mutthiah Muralitharan. The off-spinner finished his Test-Career by dismissing batters 800 times in 133 encounters.



Australia?s Shane Warne is the second highest wicket-taker with 708 wickets next to his name in 145 test matches, followed by England?s legendary fast bowler Jimmy Anderson (704 wickets), Anil Kumble of India (619 scalps) and the Australian duo of Glenn McGrath (563 wickets) and Nathan Lyon (530*wickets).



R Ashwin, who went wicketless in the first inning of the first test-match versus Bangladesh, picked up his first-wicket of the ongoing encounter by sending Shadman Islam back to the pavilion. The Bangladeshi opening batter sent an easy catch in the hands of Shubman Gill on the third delivery of the 22nd-over.



<figure class="wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2024/09/387863.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-147604" style="width:653px;height:auto" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ravi Ashwin celebrates his 37th five wicket haul with his teammates in the first test versus Bangladesh | Image: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



Following the dismissal of Shadman, Ashwin didn't look in the mood of stopping as he got rid of the duo of Mushfiqur Rahim and Mominul Haque during the final session of the third-day of the first test.



While the 38-year-old clean bowled Mominul, Lokesh Rahul executed a brilliant catch to send Rahim (13 runs) back to the dugout.



If in the ongoing first-test between India &amp; Bangladesh, R Ashwin manages to dismiss one more Bangladeshi batter, then he will complete his 11th fifer in WTC and 37th in the longest format of the game.



His 11th Five-Wicket-Haul will allow the Indian spinner to break the record of Nathan Lyon of completing the highest number of five-wicket-hauls in the history of WTC and his 37th fifer in Test-Cricket will help him to equal the record of the legendary Shane Warne.



The record of completing the highest number of five-wicket-hauls in Test-Cricket belongs to Mutthiah Muralitharan, who has 67 fifers next to his name.

Ravi Ashwin surpasses Courtney Walsh and becomes the 8th-highest Wicket-Taker in Test Cricket

India vs Bangladesh: 3 Indian Players who might not feature feature in the third T20i versus Bangladesh: On Saturday, 12th of October, Team India will square off against Bangladesh in the third and final T20 International match of the ongoing three-match T20 International series at the Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium of Hyderabad.



Captained by Suryakumar Yadav, the Men in Blue have been nothing but sensational in the series, securing two successive comfortable wins. After securing a win by seven wickets in the opening encounter, the home side humiliated the Tigers in the second contest as they defeated them by a margin of 86 runs in the city of Delhi and clinched the three-match T20 International series.



However, despite winning two-back-to-back matches, the Indian Cricket Team might look to drop a few players from their Starting XI for the third T20 International. So, as both the sides prepare to take on each other for one last time in this series, let's take a look at three Indian players who might not get a chance to play in Hyderabad. 



3 Indian player who might not get a chance to play in the third T20 International versus Bangladesh



<ol start="3" class="wp-block-list">
<li>Varun Chakaravarthy</li>
</ol>



Varun Chakaravarthy has made a memorable and remarkable comeback to his International Career. The leg-spinner, who was not even considered for selection following his horrible outing in the 2021 T20 World Cup, received an International call-up after a span of three years.



Seizing the chance with both hands, he used his cunning variations in the middle-overs to completely destroy Bangladesh.



After picking up an outstanding three-wicket-haul in the first T20 International, Varun worked his magic, ending the game with amazing figures of 2-19 next to his name.



So, considering that the Suryakumar Yadav-led team have already clinched the series, they might think of giving some rest to Varun and bring in another talented leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi in his place, who is eager to perform well and impress the team's management.



2. Mayank Yadav



Indian Cricket Team's latest fast bowling wonderkid Mayank Yadav has had an amazing start to his T20 International career as he has performed admirably in the Bangladesh T20I series. Suryakumar Yadav has effectively employed him as a middle-overs-enforcer, with the fast bowler terrorising the Tigers with his sheer speed and variations.



However, India needs to carefully control Mayank's workload given that he is a rare talent and has just recovered from a back injury. As the Men in Blue have already sealed the three-match series, they might consider giving some rest to the young speedster and replace him with another fast-bowling wonderkid Harshit Rana for this forthcoming encounter.



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sanju Samson</li>
</ol>



The experienced wicket-keeper batsman from Kerala, Sanju Samson, failed to capitalise on yet another opportunity to seal his spot in Team India's T20 International squad. Despite the 2024 T20 World Cup winners playing on excellent batting surfaces, Samson failed to live upto expectations as he underperformed with the bat in the first two matches of the series.



The absence of the duo of Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal gave the Rajasthan Royals skipper a golden chance to open the innings and become a regular in Team India's setup in the shortest format of the game. But, the 29-year-old couldn't do much, scoring just 38 runs in the first two encounters.



Although the lack of a regular opening batter in the Men in Blue's squad might allow Sanju to retain his spot, eyebrows won't be raised if the team-management decide to replace Samson with hard-Hitting batter Tilak Verma.



The Mumbai Indians batter is a proven performer and he can open the batting if required. Plus he can also roll his arm over with his part time off-spin bowling.



But, if the Men in Blue want to replace Samson with Tilak, then they must drop a middle-order batsman to allow Jitesh Sharma play as the wicket-keeper batsman.

Will India stick with Sanju Samson for the 3rd T20i versus Bangladesh? India's assistant-coach gives an update: Indian Cricket Team's assistant-coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has given a huge update regarding Sanju Samson?s future in the T20 International side and he revealed that the 29-year-old will be getting another chance to impress in the third and final T20i match versus Bangladesh.



Under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav, the Men in Blue have already secured an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match T20i-series and they will be looking to whitewash the Tigers by winning the third match as well.



After defeating the tourists by seven-wickets in the opening fixture, the home side went on to register a dominant 86-run victory to keep their unbeaten streak going in the series.



As the Suryakumar Yadav-led team eye a series whitewash, Team India's assistant-coach Ryan Ten Doeschate has provided an update regarding out-of-form wicket-keeper batsman Sanju Samson's chances of participating in the final match of the series.



Talking with the Indian media, the former Dutch All-Round reminisced on Sanju?s performance in the series, emphasising his tireless efforts to triumph with the bat.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
?Looking back at the first two games, For Sanju, it would have been easy for him to bang the ball around the stadium and record a half-century if he had gotten off to a fast start in the first encounter in Gwalior. However, it's evident that he's attempting to push the envelope, and his messaging has been largely in line with that,? Assistant-Coach Ryan ten Doeschate said.
</blockquote>



He also said that although the Men in Blue have clinched the series, the team-management wants to give Sanju another opportunity to cement his place in the side as a top-order-batsman.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
?We make an effort to introduce as many guys as possible to global experiences. The initial goal was to win the series and then bring in some fresh-faces for the final fixture, but we want to give him (Samson) another shot of impressing, so there are possibilities," Ten Doeschate added

Will India stick with Sanju Samson for the 3rd T20i versus Bangladesh? India's assistant-coach gives an update

will-india-stick-with-sanju-samson-for-the-3rd-t20i-versus-bangladesh-indias-assistant-coach-gives-an-update

Sanju Samson smacks maiden T20i Century and helps India in destroying Bangladesh in the 3rd T20i: Indian Wicket-keeper Batsman Sanju Samson repaid the faith shown in his skills as a batters by the Indian Team-management as he smashed his maiden T20 International century in the 3rd T20 International versus Bangladesh in Hyderabad.



After failing to capitalise on the starts he got in the first two matches of the series, Sanju silenced his critics and stepped in fantastic fashion in the series-finale in the city of Hyderabad, on Saturday, 12th of October. The 29-year-old became the first Indian-batsman to smack a T20 International century versus the Tiger, reaching the milestone in 40 deliveries.



It was also the 2nd-quickest century in the shortest format of the game by an Indian Cricketer. Sanju's century in 40 balls is only behind Indian Captain Rohit Sharma's record of a 35-ball-century, which was scored versus Sri Lanka in the city of Indore in 2017.



The Rajasthan Royals captain also went past Rohit's score of 89 runs, which was the previous highest score amassed by an Indian versus the Tigers in T20 Cricket.



Sanju looked determined to cement his place in the team from the very 1st ball as the Men in Blue elected to bat first. His inning of 111 runs included nine fours and eight maximums by the time he brought up his maiden hundred.



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



The 29-year-old looked absolutely thrilled as he removed his helmet &amp; received all of the happy applause from the Hyderabad crowd.The RR skipper gave a warm hug to his captain Suya, who was on the other end witnessing the havoc wreaked by his teammate.



in the end, the total of 298 runs proved to be too much for Bangladesh as the Najmul Hossain Shanto-led team lost the series-finale by 133 runs and got white-washed in the series 0-3.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the jersey controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This comes after the Indian governing body refused to write 'Pakistan' on their kits for the tournament. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to begin on 19th February. The preparations for the tournament are on, and the ICC and the PCB are taking every step possible to make sure that everything is right on track. 
However, a controversy recently erupted after BCCI refused to write Pakistan on their jersey for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Notably, every participating nation, as per the ICC policy, has to write the name of the host nation below the logo of the tournament on their jersey. 
After BCCI refused to sport it, Pakistan Cricket Board officials made a strong statement, saying that BCCI is trying to use politics in every matter. He, however, mentioned that they are hopeful that ICC will support them and India will be asked to write the name of the jersey on their kits for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys - ICC official </h2>
Following this, BCCI also reacted, and the insider from the governing body said that since they are playing in Dubai, it isn't mandatory for them to wear the 'Pakistan written jersey'. The BCCI also stressed that they didn't write Pakistan's name on the podium of the Trophy tours as well. 
Amid all this, ICC has come up with a strong response for the BCCI. An ICC official mentioned that it is the responsibility of the host nation to add the tournament logo to their jersey. He stated: 
"It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys. All teams are obligated to comply with this rule," an ICC official said as per A-Sports, as quoted by NDTV. 
Not only this, it is learned that the ICC also warned BCCI that they would be taking strict action if they didn't wear the Pakistan-written jersey during the tournament.

India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 
Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series. 
This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team. 
Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series. 
<h2>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</h2>
Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.
Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team. 
With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Rohit Sharma (C)</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">4: Shreyas Iyer</h3>
Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">5: Mohammad Rizwan</h3>

Indian all-rounder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardik_Pandya">Hardik Pandya</a> has been the asset for the Indian side, winning matches on several occasions. Pandya has been a responsible batsman down the order with an exemplary record against Pakistan. He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. 
As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>

As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.
<h3 dir="ltr">8: Kuldeep Yadav</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461">
Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)
Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm Chinaman bowler, has had an immense impact on India’s performances under sub-continent conditions. He is known for his standout services in the ODI format and hence features as the only main spin bowling option in the 11.

<h3 dir="ltr">9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</h3>

As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>

Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: The Delhi Capitals (DC) find themselves in a fascinating position ahead of the IPL 2025 season. The team is primed for success with a revamped squad and a renewed focus. However, one crucial question looms large: who should lead the team? The experienced KL Rahul, or the dependable all-rounder Axar Patel? Let’s break down the dynamics and possibilities that each captaincy option offers.
<h2>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</h2>
KL Rahul comes to Delhi with a rich IPL pedigree. Over the years, he has proven himself as a prolific run-scorer, amassing over 4,600 runs at a phenomenal average of 45-plus. His experience as captain of the Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants has shown his ability to guide a team to playoff stages, which he achieved twice with LSG. Rahul’s batting consistency and calm demeanor make him an attractive choice to lead DC.
However, Rahul’s captaincy style has been criticized for being conservative, particularly regarding his strike rate and decision-making in crunch moments. This could be a concern for a team like the Delhi Capitals, which boasts explosive batting talent and needs a captain capable of effectively utilizing this firepower.
<h2>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</h2>
On the other hand, Axar Patel represents a new-age leader with a wealth of experience in high-pressure situations. Axar has been DC's vice-captain and even stepped in as captain for a game in IPL 2024. His ability to contribute with both bat and ball makes him a key player, and his recent appointment as India’s T20 vice-captain adds to his leadership credentials.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt="">
Axar’s performances last season were nothing short of stellar, with 235 runs at a healthy strike rate and 11 wickets at an economy of 7.66. His all-around prowess, coupled with his understanding of the DC squad, makes him a strong contender for the captaincy.
Choosing between Rahul and Axar is essentially a choice between two distinct leadership styles. Rahul brings stability and experience, having captained for multiple IPL seasons. His presence can calm nerves during tense moments, which is invaluable for a team aiming for the playoffs. Axar, however, offers a dynamic and aggressive approach, potentially aligning better with DC’s young and energetic squad.
<h2>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</h2>
Delhi’s 2025 squad is packed with talent across the board. In the batting department, players like Harry Brook, Tristan Stubbs, and Jake Fraser-McGurk add explosive options, while KL Rahul himself remains a cornerstone at number three. The pace unit, led by Mitchell Starc and supported by T Natarajan and Mukesh Kumar, is formidable. However, the reliance on Axar and Kuldeep Yadav in the spin department highlights a potential area of concern.
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt="">
Delhi Capitals Squad: Harry Brook, Jake Fraser-McGurk, KL Rahul, Mitchell Starc, T Natarajan, Ashutosh Sharma, Mohit Sharma, Sameer Rizvi, Karun Nair, Faf du Plessis, Mukesh Kumar, Darshan Nalkande, Dushmantha Chameera, Vipraj Nigam, Ajay Mandal, Manwanth Kumar, Trupurana Vijay, Madhav Tiwari. DC retentions: Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Tristan Stubbs, Abishek Porel.
<h2>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</h2>
Under Rahul, DC might adopt a more methodical approach, relying on his ability to anchor innings and guide young players like Abishek Porel and Fraser-McGurk. Axar’s leadership could inject a more fearless and intuitive style, encouraging aggressive cricket and leveraging DC’s bench strength, including veterans like Faf du Plessis.
One key consideration is how the captaincy might affect their individual performances. While Rahul’s form as an opener has been a consistent asset, Axar’s ability to contribute with both bat and ball is crucial to DC’s balance. Assigning the captaincy to Axar could be a gamble, but it might pay off if it inspires the team to rally around a fresh vision.
Ultimately, the choice of captain will reflect DC’s strategic priorities. If the franchise prioritizes experience and a steady hand, KL Rahul is the natural choice. However, if they aim for a bold and innovative approach, Axar Patel might be the leader to take them to new heights.
Either way, the Delhi Capitals possess the ingredients for a successful campaign, and the captaincy debate only adds to the intrigue surrounding their 2025 IPL journey. They are one of the strong contenders for the trophy this year.
