Sanju has the ability to bat on tough tracks.His 80+ runs in low scoring lucknow ground in odi is a great example.Its srilanka where he has a terrible record in T20i.Even other players struggled to score there.
Instead of giving the team proper experience, the BCCI focuses on money-making series. India's lack of preparation for the CT 2025 is unacceptable. While other teams like Afg (12 ODIs), SA (12), Bang(12), Aus(11), Eng(11), NZ (9) & Pak (9) have been consistently playing ODIs since the WC 2023 , India lags far behind with only (6). It’s surprising how Indian fans expect the team to win major ICC tournaments when the board isn’t even preparing properly for the next one. If the board doesn't prioritize team preparation over profit, India’s performances on the global stage will only continue to decline. When you ask any cricket fan except Indians about cricket they will express how excited they are about the upcoming CT 2025. But when you ask fans in our country they will talk about the IPL auction & how remarkable a 43-year-old worn-out Thala's return will be. ODIs are not dead; they are still alive & kicking. Just because your country doesn’t play it doesn’t mean it’s a dying format. At the end of the day I expect nothing from the team in the upcoming CT 2025. However I do expect an overreaction from the fanbase who will question an unprepared team but not the BCCI's mismanagement.
I had talked about this exact thing with my friends after winning the T20 WC. Only 6 ODIs are not at all enough to choose a correct squad and a correct playing XI, SA, AUS, ENG are playing almost twice the amount of matches that India are playing, if India wins CT, I’ll genuinely be surprised. I mean, yes the youngsters in T20 need to be given chances, but don’t you want India to win major tournaments? Seems like it’s a no from BCCI. So many T20I series being held in 2024 despite having ICC tournament in the other two formats in 2025 except T20Is. And I bet now they’ll host a lot more ODI series and Test series and a lot less T20I series prior to the T20 World Cup. Smh
The only thing they could have done was make the Eng ODI series a 5 match series. Outside of that, their season has been jam packed with test matches. Like Harsha said, there is a lot of overlap with players in the test side and the ODI side so it wouldn't have worked to squeeze in ODI's before the BGT.
Even I am not able to understand this now. Pant has been a horrible player in white ball cricket for Indian team. KL is our no.1 choice and Sanju must be the backup, no Pant should be in odi squad
Sanju should be the first choice wicket keeper based on recent form. KL rahul is a better batsman in ODI but he is out of form and lacking confidence all together.
No mention of Sanju Samson!!! He is in good nick & now very confident. Rishabh doesn't deserve a place in white ball format by any means. I would have Samson in place of Rishabh. NKR in place of Jaddu. Jaddu will be in the reserves. His batting form in limited overs hasn't been great. Axar deserves to play every match.
@RakeshDas-Shorts select him for england series ..that will help him to gel with the team ..but bcci won't do that I know ..they will stick on that reputation theory ...
Pant averages just 33 , in 2023 he played 1 innings and scored 6 runs. no ODI in 2024. On what basis are you saying he can bat any where? Sanju Samson averages 56 and scored a century in his last ODI played yet he is not considered and you also want to consider Jurel who has not played an ODI yet. Do you even remember how Pant ridiculed you when you asked about his white ball form? Dont forget things just because he had an uinfortunate accident. He was dropped from white ball teams just before the accident and suddenly he is good and back in all teams. It makes a good story but unfortunately stories dont win matches.
People should stop expecting too much from The players,they are human too...We should love and support them and the game everytime they come to the ground ...
"If you came out of nowhere, saw Ruturaj Gaikwad batting in his last 3-4 matches and you say if he doesn't make it to the team, then this Indian team must be from another planet. He's the next superstar" :- Harsha bhogle
Rituraj Gaikwad has squandered his chances whenever he plays for India..have seen it multiple times.cant recall a match where he has scored big@@josemathew43
All the players you choose are well but Mr Harsha I would love to choose Sanju samson in place of Rishabh pant, pant had given many proper opportunities now it's high time to invest in Sanju samson
Ppl like Harsha Bhogle are destroying our team..This video will influence the selection team for sure. It’s high time Rohit retire from all format. Sanju Samson is a way better batsman than Pant and Suryakumar Yadav is anyday better than KL Rahul. These ppl have their favourites and they want their favourites in the team. Success of Indian team is a least concern for them… Rituraj Gaikwad should be included in 15 member squad this time tooo…
@@Outspokenguruji-h3d yes people like rituraj, rinku devdutt and etc players should get chances and I think they will too, but in a big tournament selection cannot be taken on emotional, and player like surya already tried and tested in odi and he fail to grab his chances, KL is better with team giving him clarity of his roll
Sanju will break the door of selection through his performances in t20s against England. Again if India do not win this CT than end of roads for Rohit,Virat and Rahul in ODIs because Karun,Rituraj and Samson are looking far better.
5:18 hypocrisy and favouritism at its peak 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻, After so many flop show still favouring pant, sanju with 50+ avg and century in his last ODI is not considered great favouritism at its peak 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 we deserve to lose more like Nz and Aus in ODI TOO just because of This unconditional Favouritism.
I am so happy you named Karun Nair as a backup option. He has activated God mode recently. I wish for him to get to play for India again. Just wanted Samson over Pant. But we cant have all our choices... :D
Karun Nair got selected to play for the BCCI cricket team, after he scored a triple century in the final of the Ranji Trophy for Karnataka against Tamizh Nadu. He then scored a triple century against England in a test match. They dropped him immediately after that. Last year he scored a double century in county cricket in England. 664 runs in the Vijay Hazare trophy this year (Average of 664), 5 centuries. He won't get picked to play for the BCCI Team though. He doesn't have marketing and PR like Dhoni, Kohli, Rohit, etc.
Sanju have good track record in UAE pitches . He will be best and 1st wkt keeper . But the problem is india already have openers jaiswal / gill + Rohit .
Sir dont u think taking varun will be big gamble.. And considering that Gill is gifting his wicket consistently we should go with Yashwavi as it gives left right combination.
Considering Bumrah's injury concerns, the bowling department in the middle overs need to be strengthened keeping in mind the Dubai wicket might prove quite a turning as the tournament progresses on. Again, the ability to bat through the lower order will have to be looked at. Apropos the above, Nitish, Axar, Sundar alongside Hardhik are the best options available. Coming to batters, Sanju Samson, Dhruv Jurel and Karun Nayar are the serious contenders too!
No wicket taking bowler after Arshdeep and shami finish their 1st spell as there was bumrah and shami in world cup that cost us the final similar in this side too insted playing 3 spin bowling all rounders pick 2 proper wicket taking bowlers who will take wickets in middle over as odi matches are built and won in middle overs the most underrated phase of game Your views on this if agree or disagree
Sir i have a serious doubt on washi sundar only 3 spinner will be selected nkr will be preferred sir mostly at no 8 pakka my guess bowling unit if jasprit is fit shami, jasprit, kuldeep,axar, hardik,nkr total 6 bowling and batting dept if jasprit is not available arsdeep singh will replace
Harsha Bhogle has consistently remained unconcerned about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli's recent dips in performance particularly in tests. While both have been exceptional ODI players, it's evident that they aren't getting any younger. After Champions Trophy , I believe it's time to consider resting these modern-day greats (RoHit-KOhli) in ODIs and adopt a forward-looking approach toward the next ODI World Cup in Africa (2027). By then, Rohit will be nearly 40, and Virat will be 38, making it essential to start planning for the future.
I really agree from selectors point of view, as this is a short tournament and one match lost is really hard to come back. Hence testing the XI is risk. But somewhere down the line there are more young talents getting wasted and nowadays we see early retirement. Talents like Sarfaraz, ruturaj for youngsters, chahal for experienced, they are not even getting a look in even after scoring runs and taking wickets. Understood, constant chopping will break team bond. But when do these gets a peek of their talents? @Harsha sir, your thoughts?
Disagree with you harsha sir There's no way that Arshdeep is second best bowler after bumrah. No doubt shami is second best or may be tied with jassi as best indian bowler right now. Arshdeep is good but not comparable with shami & Bumrah. Even if i am drunk i will not choose Arshdeep over shami 😅😅😅.
My 15 member squad Rohit Jaiswal Kohli Shreyas Rahul Hardik Jadeja Axar Arshdeep Bumrah or Siraj if injured Shami Backups Siraj or Harshit Gill Sanju Kuldeep Looking at the stats its good to prefer Sanju above Pant in white ball cricket with Jaiswal as the main opener being a left hand batsman also in red hot form than Gill who although averages high, his performance came good mostly inside India. Axar is a reliable all rounder and comes crucial in clutch situations with these 2 spinners it would make things look good with 3 seamers with one left arm pacer of Arshdeep hence kept over Siraj.
Suggest you to look at Pant's and Samson's numbers similar to what you did for other players. Just saying 'I still want to see Pant in the team' doesn't make much sense without even mentioning their performance. But as always, loved your analysis!
i think we should have 4 quicks in the team remove either jadu/washi/axar and then if Kuldeep is not fit then we can go ahead with ravi/ or one of the other 3 finger spinners
Good squad, Harsha. But I think we need Nitish as Hardik is the only fast bowling all rounder in that squad. I will have Washington Sundar wait unfortunately. With Jadeja, Axar, and Varun, I think we have enough spinners. My playing XI: Rohit, Jaiswal, Kohli, Iyer, Rahul(wk), Hardik, Nitish/Jadeja, (depends on the pitch) Axar, Shami, Arshdeep, Siraj (if Bumrah is not available).
Only thing troubls me is way too many spineers.. u may not need that many.. So here is my take... Keep varun or kuldeep(if available) as a pure spinner and u can remove one of either jadeja or sundar and put nitish reddi or shivam dubey....
Changes that i would make to Harsha's 15 man squad are: Samson in for Pant Karun Nair in for Shreyas Iyer Ravi Bishnoi for Jadeja/Axar ( we dont need 2 left arm spinners) The absence of Bumrah could make the difference for team India as he is almost irreplaceable, so lets hope he does recover in time from the back injury and is able to play.
hi Five for Karun Nair, Really consider players like Karun Nair who do it better in Domestic Cricket. It will inspire Domestic Cricket and there will be some seriousness. Hope to see him in 15
I would like team India to look for Sanju Samson as well because I believe he can be a good option after K.L Rahul. 1. Rohit 2. Gill 3. Jaiswal 4. Virat 5. Shreyas 6. Rahul 7. Hardik 8. Axar 9. Shami 10. Arshdeep 11. Varun India can experiment with this line-up against Eng....it gives batting depth...and if gill, jaiswal and shreyas can bowl to provide the combined option for 6th bowler. or else go with tested line-up. 1. Rohit 2. Gill 3. Virat 4. Shreyas 5. Rahul 6. Hardik 7. Axar 8. Washington 9. Shami 10. Arshdeep 11. Varun I believe that India should give priority to Axar over Jadeja because he is in prime form...and no one should forget his performance for team India in t20wc final....he can be used as a floater in the middle order when required.
if kuldeep not playing, varun charkavarthy should be there. we need wicket taking options in middle. my X1 would be Gill Rohit Virat K L rahul Axar Sanju Pandya Arshdeep Shami Varun C Siraj
I really feel pity for Rinku Singh… he has performed at all levels .. IPL ODI or T20is … but no one mentions him once … he should be given chance … pity 😶😶
Harsha on what basis do have you ADDED kl Rahul? common Harsha! you are brilliant not just with stats but also blessed with great memory. when has Rahul consistently performed under pressure?
Why we are most Laggard when it comes to taking an upfront decision. Most nations declared their Champions Trophy squad before 12th deadline but as Laggard we are, we always do things late. More so, we can't even decide the playing 11, even 11 min before a toss. The only thing that we do is to mint money as crazy people will not spend time in thinking about their career but always enough time to waste on inconsequential cricket matches at times.
Sanju and Rishabh has same eligibility. Sanju didnt get a chance after a wonderful century in SA. When it comes to icc tournaments Sanju is always omitted.
People tell sometimes how Harsha Bhogle is poor in cricket analysis and only good in speaking, now I understand why 😂 This man literally picked Pant and even discussed Jurel in ODIs, when someone like Sanju Samson averages around 60 and strikes at 100+ in odi cricket, and scored a century in south Africa. Pant in his 30 odd odi matches have just two substantial knocks, that is one good century in Eng and one quickfire 70s vs WI.
This is my 15. I'm not predicting the final squad, just putting what I would like: Rohit Gill Jaiswal Virat Shreyas SKY (*) Sanju Samson (*) R Pant Hardik Axar Patel Washi Arshdeep Shami Siraj Y Chahal (*) * Different from Harsha's
Sanju samson he scored a odi century in south africa and we won the series his average is above 50 way better than pant and a great keeper
no he is t20 player and need opening place
He is all format player better than pant in odi@@techgaming4780

The fact that we played only 3 ODIs in 2024 and would play 3 ODIs before CT says the ways ODI is looked at by the board.
If they hadn’t played test matches fools like you would have said that’s why we lost in Australia . No Iq at all bro get a life
Go watch football please
What more does Sanju Samson have to do to be featured in the Indian white ball team?
Why should we always rely on Pant who is not at all reliable?
True
Correct 😂
Even I am not able to understand this now.
Pant has been a horrible player in white ball cricket for Indian team.
KL is our no.1 choice and Sanju must be the backup, no Pant should be in odi squad
Sanju samson is perfect white ball player. Can be picked either of pant/Rahul
You are big big mad how you think of sanju Samson
Not ahead of Kl rahul
No ..cuz he is Tamil 😅😅
Sanju should be the first choice wicket keeper based on recent form. KL rahul is a better batsman in ODI but he is out of form and lacking confidence all together.

People who think Sanju is a T20 player needs to see his ODI stats, he is more better ODI player!!!
I always considered Sanju as a better Odi batter than a T20 batter. His calm game is more dangerous than his over aggressive game
Harsha has been a true fan of Sanju. If he is silent about Sanju, it means there is serious pressure on him to pick pant.
The way karun nair playing in vijay hazzare trophy he deserves a place ..5 centuries from 6 innings ..what else you need from a player ..
Yes he deserve but in not in ICC tournaments
@RakeshDas-Shorts select him for england series ..that will help him to gel with the team ..but bcci won't do that I know ..they will stick on that reputation theory ...

Loved your analysis sir
WHAT WAS HARSHA SMOKING WHEN HE KARUN NAIR AHEAD OF TILAK, SANJU,RINKU?
THESE GUYS PLAYED RECENT ODIS.
KARUN HASN'T PLAYED FOR INDIA SINCE 8 YEARS😅😅
My 15 member squad
Rohit
Jaiswal
Kohli
Shreyas
Rahul
Hardik
Jadeja
Axar
Arshdeep
Bumrah or Siraj if injured
Shami
Backups
Siraj or Harshit
Gill
Sanju
Kuldeep
Looking at the stats its good to prefer Sanju above Pant in white ball cricket with Jaiswal as the main opener being a left hand batsman also in red hot form than Gill who although averages high, his performance came good mostly inside India.
Axar is a reliable all rounder and comes crucial in clutch situations with these 2 spinners it would make things look good with 3 seamers with one left arm pacer of Arshdeep hence kept over Siraj.
Sorry harsha it was a prediction so the team which you don’t want to 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Suggest you to look at Pant's and Samson's numbers similar to what you did for other players. Just saying 'I still want to see Pant in the team' doesn't make much sense without even mentioning their performance.
But as always, loved your analysis!

i think we should have 4 quicks in the team remove either jadu/washi/axar and then if Kuldeep is not fit then we can go ahead with ravi/ or one of the other 3 finger spinners
Batting - Gill, Ruturaj, Yahswasi, Kohli, Samson
WK - Pant
All rounder - Pandya
Pace - Shami, Arshdeep, Siraj
Spin - Bishnoi
If the pitches in UAE are slow,then the medium pace of Nitish reddy will be useful.

Naah Kohli will play at no 3
Good squad, Harsha. But I think we need Nitish as Hardik is the only fast bowling all rounder in that squad. I will have Washington Sundar wait unfortunately. With Jadeja, Axar, and Varun, I think we have enough spinners.
My playing XI:
Rohit,
Jaiswal,
Kohli,
Iyer,
Rahul(wk),
Hardik,
Nitish/Jadeja, (depends on the pitch)
Axar,
Shami,
Arshdeep,
Siraj (if Bumrah is not available).
Only thing troubls me is way too many spineers.. u may not need that many.. So here is my take... Keep varun or kuldeep(if available) as a pure spinner and u can remove one of either jadeja or sundar and put nitish reddi or shivam dubey....
Considering both Jassi and Kuldeep unfit. Also comfortable preferring Samson over Pant, but none lefties in top order.
First 11: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Rishabh Pant, Axar Patel,NKR, Washie, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami
Reserves: Jaiswal, Siraj, Jaddu, Harshit Rana.
Back-up - Riyan, Mukesh, Chahal
A leggie wicket taker is a must... Jadeja & Yuzi or Bishnoi would be perfect
Changes that i would make to Harsha's 15 man squad are:
Samson in for Pant
Karun Nair in for Shreyas Iyer
Ravi Bishnoi for Jadeja/Axar ( we dont need 2 left arm spinners)
The absence of Bumrah could make the difference for team India as he is almost irreplaceable, so lets hope he does recover in time from the back injury and is able to play.
How exactly does Karun get ahead of Shreyas in ODIs ?
@@roysp6247 exactly I mean Shreyas Iyer has been in blistering form in the very same tournament, but just for the sake of it
U all broadcasters and ex cricketer are partial … Pant has never performed in ODIs or T20i … but still u all see him as young 28 yr old talent… shame
hi Five for Karun Nair, Really consider players like Karun Nair who do it better in Domestic Cricket. It will inspire Domestic Cricket and there will be some seriousness. Hope to see him in 15
What about Kuldeep?
I would like team India to look for Sanju Samson as well because I believe he can be a good option after K.L Rahul.
1. Rohit
2. Gill
3. Jaiswal
4. Virat
5. Shreyas
6. Rahul
7. Hardik
8. Axar
9. Shami
10. Arshdeep
11. Varun
India can experiment with this line-up against Eng....it gives batting depth...and if gill, jaiswal and shreyas can bowl to provide the combined option for 6th bowler.
or else go with tested line-up.
1. Rohit
2. Gill
3. Virat
4. Shreyas
5. Rahul
6. Hardik
7. Axar
8. Washington
9. Shami
10. Arshdeep
11. Varun
I believe that India should give priority to Axar over Jadeja because he is in prime form...and no one should forget his performance for team India in t20wc final....he can be used as a floater in the middle order when required.
Nitish/Rana in place of Jadeja, Bishnoi in place of Washington and Samson for Pant. Rest of all looks good sir.
Harsha Bhogle going around in circles
if kuldeep not playing, varun charkavarthy should be there. we need wicket taking options in middle.
my X1 would be
Gill
Rohit
Virat
K L rahul
Axar
Sanju
Pandya
Arshdeep
Shami
Varun C
Siraj
Don't know why Ruturaj is not even in the contention list
Karun Nair and Mayank Agarwal to be looked at as Vijay Hazare trophy performance taken into account for selection
1. Rohit Sharma
2. Shubham Gill
3. Virat Kohli
4. Shreyas Iyer
5. Lokesh Rahul
6. Hardik Pandya
7. Ravindra Jadeja

9. Mohd Shami
10.Jasprit Bhumrah
11.Arshdeep Singh

13. Axar Patel
14. Mohd Siraj
15. Karun Nair
Stand By
16. Yashaswi Jaiswal
17. Nitish Reddy
18. Anshul Kamboj
Sir I think Karun Nair is selected in squad of 15 .....
I really feel pity for Rinku Singh… he has performed at all levels .. IPL ODI or T20is … but no one mentions him once … he should be given chance … pity 😶😶
Harsha on what basis do have you ADDED kl Rahul? common Harsha! you are brilliant not just with stats but also blessed with great memory. when has Rahul consistently performed under pressure?
It’s easy to pick the 11 that you know the selectors are going to pick … this team is gonna lose big time
Why we are most Laggard when it comes to taking an upfront decision. Most nations declared their Champions Trophy squad before 12th deadline but as Laggard we are, we always do things late. More so, we can't even decide the playing 11, even 11 min before a toss. The only thing that we do is to mint money as crazy people will not spend time in thinking about their career but always enough time to waste on inconsequential cricket matches at times.
Rishab hasnt done well for India in t20s and Odis... Its time to look for someone else...possibly Jurel...
Sanju and Rishabh has same eligibility. Sanju didnt get a chance after a wonderful century in SA. When it comes to icc tournaments Sanju is always omitted.
They will never give him any chance cuz he is tamil look what did they do with Ashwin
@@Sportsdesire-zk4sh Didn't know that Kerala is a part of TN😂
Sir my birthdate matches with yours ❤
Shubhman gill & Washington sundar can be replaced by Tilak verma & Nitish Reddy respectively.

People tell sometimes how Harsha Bhogle is poor in cricket analysis and only good in speaking, now I understand why 😂
This man literally picked Pant and even discussed Jurel in ODIs, when someone like Sanju Samson averages around 60 and strikes at 100+ in odi cricket, and scored a century in south Africa.
Pant in his 30 odd odi matches have just two substantial knocks, that is one good century in Eng and one quickfire 70s vs WI.
It feels so nice to just listen to you speak , you speak so well !
What's wrong with Chahal ??
This is my 15. I'm not predicting the final squad, just putting what I would like:
Rohit
Gill
Jaiswal
Virat
Shreyas
SKY (*)
Sanju Samson (*)
R Pant
Hardik
Axar Patel
Washi
Arshdeep
Shami
Siraj
Y Chahal (*)
* Different from Harsha's
