India’s route to Champions Trophy 2025 final proves management’s decision to add spin depth right

The Hindu  

India’s preparation for the Champions Trophy has been built around the mantra ‘if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Two years ago, Rohit Sharma’s men enthralled the cricketing world by dominating the ODI World Cup, clinically breezing past its opponents. While most top players did not participate in the three-match joust against South Africa in December ’23, the near full-strength squad was humbled 0-2 on Sri Lanka’s spin-friendly surfaces in August ’24. We were watching the ILT20 played here and thought the slower bowlers would find the pitches a lot more helpful.” The fact that India fielded four of the slow variety, and just one frontline fast bowler — Hardik is seen as a seam-up option - in the two big games against the Kiwis and Aussies showed the captain’s conviction. Like it did two years ago during the stirring run World Cup at home, India has made short work of its opponents enroute the decider and will fancy its chances of regaining the ‘mini’ World Cup.
