These five openers can get a chance in Team India in Champions Trophy

Apart from this, left-handed explosive batsmen Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are known for their consistency and technical ability in ODI cricket. In such a situation, both of them may also get a chance in the team. Sanju Samson and Rishabh Pant both are wicketkeeper batsmen and bat in the middle order for Team India. But both have long experience of opening.

Five fast bowlers can get a place in Team India

India has a strong lineup in the fast bowling department. Mohammed Shami may also return, which will further strengthen the bowling attack. His experience and yorker bowling will be important in the final overs of the match. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj are also the pillars of the Indian bowling attack, who have the ability to take wickets in the early overs. Arshdeep Singh has proved himself with his excellent bowling in the death overs. Mayank Yadav may also get a chance.

These all-rounders may get a chance

Talking about all-rounder players, Ravindra Jadeja, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey and Axar Patel can be the main contenders for the Indian team. Jadeja and Axar Patel's ability to provide balance in spin and batting will be a big strength for the team. Hardik Pandya's fast bowling and explosive batting make him the most special all-rounder. Whereas Shivam Dubey's recent form presents him as a great option. In such a situation, these players can be included in the team.
