Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma Face Fans' Ire Over Changes To India's Champions Trophy Squad

In a huge setback for Team India, as it gears up for the Champions Trophy, marquee pacer Jasprit Bumrah was been ruled out of the tournament due to a lower back injury. While Bumrah's fitness was deemed okay, the selectors decided to not risk him in the ICC event. Instead, they decided to name Harshit Rana as his replacement. While the Bumrah and Harshit swap was forced, the board also made an unforced change by bringing in spinner Varun Chkravarthy in place of opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal. Though the team management had its reasons behind the said changes, fans aren't entirely on board.

The recent turn of events in the Indian ODI team has been quite dramatic. After Jasprit Bumrah's injury became a catch-22 situation, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) selection committee decided not to take him to Dubai for the ICC Champions Trophy, naming Harshit Rana, who made his ODI debut in the England series, as his replacement. Another surprise awaited the Indian cricketing spectrum as opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal was dropped for mystery spinner Vaun Chakravarthy, courtesy of the latter's exemplary performances in the T20I assignment against England.

"You Are Creating Insecurity, Will Come Back And Hurt You": Zaheer Khan Warns Gautam Gambhir

Results might be going India's way in ODI cricket but experts aren't entirely onboard with the system head coach Gautam Gambhir has put in place in the team. Barring the opening combination, and maybe the No. 3 batter, none of the positions in the team are fully defined. Be it Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya or Axar Patel, the batting positions of these players depend a lot on situations. While former India pacer Zaheer Khan doesn't mind the strategy, he feels some rules have to be put in place in order to avoid 'insecurity' in the team.

Team India might be 2-0 up in the 3-match ODI series against England but the manner in which the batting order is shaping up, hasn't gone down well with everyone. Be it the averted experiment to bench Shreyas Iyer or the batting position of KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya, there remain many ifs and buts in the team that are yet to be resolved. Former India captain Kris Srikkanth took a direct swipe at head coach Gautam Gambhir, accusing him of mismanaging wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul.
