Shubman Gill as vice-captain was the worst choice Ajit Agarkar could have made, mark my words.
Not picky
Not Samson
Not Karen Nair

Choosing two newcomers to join CT instead of Siraj is a decision that the management will regret. pic.twitter.com/jHJhLcTOtq

What a clown.
Jadeja and axar are both 15, for what?
Harshit performed well in t20 and is being picked in fir test and odi and is also considered to have played only 2-3 games before CT.
Why was Siraj eliminated? https://t.co/OMZCi3GsP4

I don’t know why Harriet Rana is in the Audi squad against England. You have Siraj, Prasidh. His performance in recent times has not been particularly good.
just because #KKR quota. #ChampionsTrophy2025 #INDvsENG— Yash Jagtap (@YashJag20546946) January 18, 2025
No Siraj? Really, Bcci thinks Harshit> Siraj can even be a backup for the odi series 🙄 He is Bumrah’s backup during 2022-2023 when Bumrah is injured. Is it just because Sri Lankans don’t play ball?#ChampionsTrophy2025 #championshiptrophy pic.twitter.com/6u8hwflEGi
