What should be your playing XI in Champions Trophy?

[Austin 3:!6]

Though its early to start this thread in the midst of IPL, but who will be your playing XI for the Champions trophy. My team: Gambhir Rahane Kohli Rohit/Jadeja Yuvi Raina Dhoni Ashwin Bhuvaneshwar Ishant Vinay We will win the the tourney :two_thumbs_up:

Gambhir hmm not sure one of Murali vijay/Dhawan/Rahane Kohli Yuvi Dhoni D Kartick Sir Jadeja Irfan Ashwin B Kumar Umesh Praveen Kumar, Raina, (one of Mooli, Dhawan Rahane), Rahul Sharma But for me the way D kartick is timing the ball, he has to make the starting 11.

I would also like to state, for me IPL form is crucial. Somebody like shami ahemed needs to move to a franchise where he can play regularly. We will be finishing the IPL and then coming right into the champions trophy. So the IPL is the only form we have to go on.

Not in 30 probables :--D

[Austin 3:!6]

I would like to have Rohit Sharma in my team due to his good technique. Since the conditions in england will be tough for batting we need players with proper technique.

There has been some miss signals, pujara is in India A squad but haven't ruled him out for champs trophy.

Amit mishra should also be there.

[trundlerNO1]

Ghambir Dinesh Karthik/Dhawan Kohli Yuvraj Dhoni Raina Jadeja Ashwin Umesh Yadav Ishant Sharma Bhuvi This is the best possible XI

[PSB_Zone]

Rohit gambhir kohli uv dhoni raina jadega I.pathan ashwin bhuvi yadav kartik dhawan ishant sami Ct will be held in england in swinging conditions.so team selected accordingly the abv x1 has 6 rite and 5 left handers and is a grt fielding team..Well balanced.

[adi B]

pacers should be yadav(since we need a bowler for death ovrs),bhuvi,shami as swing bowlers

[saneindian]

Gambhir Rahane Kohli Yuvi Dhoni Raina Pathan Ashwin Bhuvan Shami Ishant Reserves- Umesh, Jaddu, Rohit, DK

[philcric]

English conditions ... so bowling should be swing-centric. 3 pacers + I Pathan + Ashwin + Yuvi should cover all bases wrt bowling without compromising much on batting. Dhawan (or Gambhir) R Sharma (or Rahane) Kohli Yuvi *+ Dhoni Raina I Pathan Ashwin Bhuvi Umesh Ishant / Shami / whoever

You want Jadeja to be dropped, he is the best ICC ranked Indian bowler :facepalm:

[Austin 3:!6]

You want Jadeja to be dropped' date=' he is the best ICC ranked Indian bowler :facepalm:[/quote'] Jadeja is not suited for English conditions. Not that Irfan is any good, but he will get the swing.

[sivanand82]

First name to be in Ishant Sharma.Simply there is no match to him.Rest of the squad should picked after giving lot of thought!:cantstop:

[saneindian]

You don't drop your best ranked bowler for Irfan(who might not be in top 100)

And you don't drop a guy who picked a 5-er in his last ODI. :--D

FYI - Dhoni dropped Sehwag in the next series after Viru scored 219.
