The Indian cricket team is now going to start its campaign in the Champions Trophy 2025. On Thursday 20 January, Team India will play their first match in the tournament against Bangladesh. Before this match in Dubai, Team India captain Rohit Sharma spoke about his mind regarding the preparations and the importance of the tournament. During this time, the Indian captain laid special emphasis on 4 players of the team and said that he would have to do well.

The Champions Trophy started in Pakistan on Wednesday, where Pakistan and New Zealand teams were face to face in the first match.

The second match of the tournament is also to be played from this group on Thursday, in which India will face Bangladesh. A day before this match, captain Rohit Sharma answered media questions in the press conference and said that Team India will also play this tournament like other series because it gives full importance to everyone.

Rohit's message to these 4 players

During this time, the Indian captain laid a lot of emphasis on the aspect, which is in everyone's eyes from the beginning and this is the batting of the top-order. The Indian captain gave a direct message to his 4 batsmen in front of everyone that he would have to perform strongly and Rohit himself is also included in these 4 batsmen.

The Indian captain said, "Your top-4 needs to score big." Obviously, captain Rohit's gesture was star batsman Virat Kohli, vice-captain Shubman Gill, Shreyas Iyer and themselves, who are the top-four batsmen of Team India's batting.

These four batsmen played some strong innings in the ODI series against England. While Shubman Gill and Shreyas Iyer scored the most runs in the three matches, captain Rohit Sharma failed in 2 matches but also came out of his bat in a match.

At the same time, Virat, who failed in a match, also scored a strong half -century in the next match. In such a situation, Team India will need some big innings again from these four. Captain Rohit will have special attention as the Star opener scored a brilliant century in the semi -final match between the two teams in the Champions Trophy 2017.

What did Rohit Sharma say on spinners?

Apart from this, Rohit also answered the question of more spinners in Team India. Team India has descended in this tournament with 5 spinners in the form of Ravindra Jadeja, Akshar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakraborty.

But Rohit looks at it from a different perspective. The Indian captain said, "We have 2 spinners and the remaining 3 are all -rounders. All three bring deep in our batting. This is our strength and we have paid attention to it. "

As far as the tournament is concerned, the Indian captain made it clear that to win it, he will have to field many things properly. Rohit said, "The Champions Trophy is taking place after eight years. Every ICC Trophy is important for us. To win the trophy, we have to correct many things. " Rohit's saying is also important because Pakistan won the title by defeating Team India in the final of the Champions Trophy played in 2017.
