<p>After two years of spectacular cricket, India Cricket Team has managed to reach the final of the<a href="https://www.icc-cricket.com/homepage" data-type="URL" data-id="https://www.icc-cricket.com/homepage"> World Test Championship</a>. They played a sensational brand of Test cricket over the last couple of years and the hard work of that has paid off. They will now face Australia in the main event at The Oval, England from 7th to the 11th June.?</p>



<p>This is the second consecutive time India has qualified for the final of the WTC 2023. They lost to New Zealand first time and this time around it?ll be an extremely crucial game for them as they haven?t won any ICC trophy since 2013. They have faced a lot of criticism for that and many are backing them to change their fortunes and bring the trophy home this time around.</p>



<h2><strong>WTC Final 2023: Sunil Gavaskar suggests KL Rahul as the wicket-keeper for the World Test Championship Final </strong></h2>

<p>The absence of Rishabh Pant has left a massive void in the Indian Test team. The keeper batter met with an accident in December last year and has been ruled out of cricketing action for around 8-9 months.?</p>



<p>Rishabh?s absence was quite evident in the recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia. In his place, KS Bharat got the opportunity but it?s fair to say that the right-hander didn?t fill up the shoes as he looked ordinary with the bat and also dropped a few catches as well with the gloves.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Pant on the other hand has been India?s best batter ever since he came in the Test set-up. The keeper batter has consistently scored runs for India down the order and has bailed them out of the trouble, scorning centuries in India, England, Australia and South Africa.?</p>

<p>Pant is set to miss the WTC final 2023 and there have been a lot of speculations about that spot in the team. India tried Bharat but it doesn?t seem that he will look comfortable against the moving ball in England. Therefore the team is left with Ishan Kishan or they can ask KL Rahul to keep wickets.</p>

<p>With all the mess around wicket-keeper role?s in the team for the WTC Final 2023, former Indian cricketer Sunil Gavaskar has come up with a suggestion. Speaking to Sports Tak, he said that the team should ask Rahul to keep wickets and bat in the middle, which will help him regain his form as well.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Rahul is currently out of form and was dropped from the team for the 3rd and the 4th Test against Australia. But he has been India?s best batter in overseas conditions as he struck centuries in England and South Africa.?</p>

<p>The dominance of the Indian Cricket Team at the home just extended as they thumped Australia by 2-1 and retained the Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the 4th consecutive time. The hosts were on the top of their game in the first two games as they thumped the opposition by innings and 132 runs and 6 wickets respectively.?</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">When the rest of the players will reach?</h2>



<p>It is anticipated that Cheteshwar Pujara, who is currently playing county cricket for Sussex in England, would join Team India this week. After the IPL playoffs, players like Ajinkya Rahane, Mohammed Shami, Ishan Kishan, Shubman Gill, and KS Bharat will go for England. In the World Test Championship final, the Indian squad will hit the pitch without Rishabh Pant, Jaspreet Bumrah, and KL Rahul. The issue of injury is causing these guys difficulty. In reality, since 2013, the Indian squad has not taken home an ICC title. Team India will focus on ending the 10-year drought for the time being. In the most recent World Test Championship championship game, the Indian side had to concede a?loss against New Zealand.</p>



<p>Indian captain Rohit Sharma had clearly said before the start of IPL that as soon as the team is out of the playoff race, all those players will be sent to England.</p>

<p><strong>WTC Final:</strong> Team India has to play the final match of the World Test Championship 2021-23 against Australia at the Oval ground in England from the seventh of next month. Before this important match, the BCCI also announced the 15-member squad of the Indian team. Apart from Virat Kohli and Mohammad Siraj, eight other players have also reached England. As soon as the IPL gets over, all the remaining players will also reach Australia.</p>



<p>The Indian side won the Test match at the Oval in 2021 while Shastri was the head coach, however,?at that time, they had fast bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj, Umesh Yadav, and Shardul Thakur. In addition to them, Rohit Sharma's century innings were crucial to that game. Shastri stated that Bumrah's absence harmed India's chances when picking his playing 11 for the WTC final.</p>

<p>"If your fast bowling strategy isn't particularly effective. Ashwin and Jadeja are both excellent spinners, so you should select two if you believe that some of the fast bowlers have aged and are no longer as fast."</p>

<p>"If the dry ground is hard, you should still land with two spinners. England is a country where the weather is significant, but I don't know the weather there. I believe it is sunny there right now. India should therefore use two spinners, two fast bowlers, and one all-rounder in this situation. In addition to this, the team should have five batsmen and one wicketkeeper."</p>



<p>"This would be my team lineup if the Oval's circumstances were typical. You have to field such players who can beat Australia.." Shastri has chosen Srikar Bharat over Ishaan Kishan as his choice for a wicketkeeper.</p>

wtc-final-2023-icc-confirms-the-15-member-squad-and-standby-player-of-india-and-australia-for-the-wtc-final

<p dir="ltr"><span>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.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>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.    </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>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.</span></p>
<h2 dir="ltr"><span>Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</span></h2>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>1: Rohit Sharma (C)</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679065b3730c0.jpg" alt="" width="792" height="493"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Rohit Sharma - The Indian skipper at the top (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian captain and opener Rohit Sharma will be a part of the India-Pakistan combine playing XI. The right-handed batter has exceptional records and stats in ICC tournaments for the Indian Cricket Team.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Rohit Sharma has scored a total of 10,866 runs with an average of 49.16, including 31 centuries and 57 fifties in ODIs. Sharma has this ability to score quick runs and introduce the x-factor of the game for his side. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>2: Babar Azam</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Former Pakistan captain and top-order batter Babar Azam would also be a part of the combined ODI playing XI. Though he has been scorched off form recently and has faced sheer criticism, however, the players great antics cannot be overlooked owing to his sudden dip in form. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Babar Azam has managed to score 5,957 runs with an average of 56,73, including 19 centuries and 34 fifties.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>3: Virat Kohli</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>One of the greatest players when it comes to limited overs cricket, Virat Kohli is considered the greatest in the format, while his fearless approach often frightens any bowling attack in the world. </span></p>

<h3 dir="ltr"><span>4: Shreyas Iyer</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer"><strong>Shreyas Iyer </strong></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.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>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.</span></p>

<p><span>New Pakistan skipper - Mohammad Rizwan (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan fins his name in this combined playing XI for India and Pakistan. The currently named skipper of the Pakistan limited-overs side, has produced results after his immediate effect.  </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Mohammad Rizwan has scored a total of 2,352 runs with an average of 41.26, including 3 centuries and 15 fifties, however, he is one of the most standout players for Pakistan in the middle-order. </span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>6: Hardik Pandya</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Indian all-rounder <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardik_Pandya"><strong>Hardik Pandya</strong></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. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>7: Shadab Khan</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shadab Khan, the Leg-spin bowling all-rounder has been a crucial player for the Pakistan cricket team in recent times.Though Shadab Khan has not featured much for Pakistan in recent times, his services have been relished by the nation when it comes to limited-overs cricket. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>8: Kuldeep Yadav</span></h3>
<p><span><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461"></span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>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.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Kuldeep Yadav has taken 172 wickets for the Indian side with an economy of just 4.99.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>Shaheen Shah Afridi has seemingly restored his form after his work stress was reduced, as the pacer has this supreme ability to swing the new ball on both sides. For Pakistan, Shaheen has been a proven matchwinner in several high-profile games in ICC tournaments.</span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>10: Jasprit Bumrah</span></h3>
<p dir="ltr"><span>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. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr"><span>As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.</span></p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><span>11: Mohammed Shami</span><span></span></h3>

<p><strong>Delhi Capitals IPL 2025: </strong>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.</p>
<h2><strong>KL Rahul: The Veteran Leader</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2><strong>Axar Patel: The Fresh Perspective</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063ce6ad86.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2><strong>Delhi Capitals, the Squad</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p><img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_679063cab56d5.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>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.</p>
<h2><strong>The Strategic Impact of Captaincy</strong></h2>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p></p>

KL Rahul or Axar Patel, who could be the Next Leader of Capitals?

Delhi Capitals faces a tough captaincy choice for IPL 2025: experienced KL Rahul or dynamic Axar Patel. Both offer distinct leadership styles, which will shape DC's approach with their star-studded squad and bold ambitions.

Delhi Capitals must choose between KL Rahul’s steady leadership or Axar Patel’s dynamic approach to maximize their IPL 2025 potential.
