Champions Trophy title depends on God! Indian batsmen leave international cricket and crave for runs in domestic cricket too.

Champions Trophy 2025: The Champions Trophy is getting closer day by day. 130 crore Indians have high expectations from their star players in the tournament starting from February 19. Fans are hopeful that like the T20 World Cup, the Champions Trophy title will also come to India this time. But the continuously declining form and poor performance of the Indian batsmen has raised many questions. The flop show of Indian batsmen continues in international cricket, but till now in domestic cricket the stars of Team India are yearning for runs.

The top five batsmen of the Indian team selected for the Champions Trophy entered the Ranji battle on Thursday (January 23). The matter of tension is that out of these 5 batsmen, only one batsman could cross the double figure. Five batsmen together scored a total of 23 runs.

Indian stars flop in domestic cricket

In the second round of Ranji Trophy, which started from January 23, everyone's eyes were fixed on the match between Mumbai vs Jammu Kashmir. The reason for this was that Indian team captain Rohit Sharma was returning to domestic cricket after a long time. There were a lot of expectations from Rohit, but his condition was the same as was happening continuously on Kangaroo land. After playing 19 balls, Hitman left after scoring only 3 runs. Yashasvi Jaiswal, who was seen in form on Kangaroo soil, also flopped with the bat and walked towards the pavilion after scoring just 4 runs.

– Rishabh Pant dismissed for 1.
– Rohit Sharma dismissed for 3.
– Yashasvi Jaiswal dismissed for 4.
– Shubman Gill dismissed for 4.
– Shreyas Iyer dismissed for 11.

Gill-Pant's condition is also bad

Shubman Gill's condition was also bad while playing for Punjab. Gill walked towards the pavilion after scoring just 4 runs. At the same time, Rishabh Pant, who came to play for Delhi, could open his account with great difficulty and went on after scoring only one run. Shreyas Iyer, who made it to the Champions Trophy team by scoring a lot of runs in domestic cricket, could also score only 11 runs. These are the five batsmen who have the responsibility of helping Team India win the Champions Trophy title, but only God knows how Team India will sail through with this kind of performance.
