If Rohit-Gill open in Champions Trophy, where will Yashasvi-Pant play? Team combination stuck in trouble!

Champions Trophy 2025: The Indian team for Champions Trophy 2025 has been announced. Sanju Samson has not been given a place in the team. Rishabh Pant has been the first choice of selectors as a wicketkeeper. However, KL Rahul has also been included in the team. Kuldeep Yadav has also returned to the team after being fit. Looking at the team combination, it is considered certain that Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill will be seen opening the innings. But the question arises that if Gill will play the role of opener, then which position will Yashasvi, who batted brilliantly in Australia, play?

It is believed that Yashasvi has been included in the team as a backup opener and he will be seen in the playing 11 only when a batsman gets injured. The number three position looks fixed for Virat Kohli.

However, it will also be interesting to see who the team management chooses as wicketkeeper between Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. Rahul had performed tremendously as a keeper in the ODI World Cup. In such a situation, it is believed that he may get preference over Pant.
