Sun Jan 19 13:38:07 UTC 2025: ## India’s Champions Trophy Squad Announced; Jadeja’s Record in Focus
**New Delhi, January 19, 2025** – The Indian cricket team for the upcoming Champions Trophy 2025 has been announced, with Rohit Sharma as captain and Shubman Gill as vice-captain. The squad features the return of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami after a long hiatus, while Mohammed Siraj has been omitted, replaced by Arshdeep Singh. Ravindra Jadeja, known for his all-round abilities, is also included.
This year’s tournament holds special significance as it marks twelve years since India’s last Champions Trophy victory in 2013. That win included a remarkable performance by Jadeja, who remains the only Indian bowler to take a 5-wicket haul in a single Champions Trophy match – a feat achieved against the West Indies in 2013. This record is now in the sights of Bumrah.
The full squad is: Rohit Sharma (capt.), Shubman Gill (vice-capt.), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Axar Patel, Washington Sundar, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Ravindra Jadeja.
