The Indian cricket team is close to winning the second title within 8 months. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team won the T20 World Cup 2024 title in June last year. Now under his leadership, Team India is very close to the Champions Trophy. For this, Team India is putting its full strength in practice, but just before the final, captain Rohit and vice-captain Shubman Gill separated from the entire team and did not reach the stadium with them. The question is why this happened?

Why did Gill and Rohit not reach with the team?

Actually, the final of the Champions Trophy is to be played between India and New Zealand on Sunday 9 March.

Before this title match, Team India practiced for two consecutive days in Dubai. A day before the match, on Saturday, Team India reached Dubai International Stadium for practice and sweated there. But when Team India reached here, captain Rohit and vice-captain Gill were not together. This happened because both of them were practicing at the ICC Academy before that.

According to a report, this opening pair of Team India spent time at the ICC Academy, away from the stadium in Dubai itself. During this, both of them practiced under the supervision of batting coach Sitanshu Kotak and Assistant Coach Abhishek Nair.

Both of them gave a edge to their preparations here for some time and then after some time both of them reached Dubai Stadium, where they joined the rest of the team's players. The practice of the Indian team started at 2 pm but both reached there after some time.

How is the performance of both?

As far as the performance of both the players is concerned, after a good start, both of them have not been able to do anything special in the last 2-3 matches. Gill scored a brilliant century in the first match, while Rohit also scored 41 runs in that match.

But since then, both of them have not played any big innings. Both of them were dismissed early in the semi -finals against Australia. In such a situation, by compensating it in the title match, they will try their best to make Rohit and Gill team champions.
