Are India really that bad? I'm not sure if Indian posters are right or acting like that smart kid from my class who always said that his paper went poorly. And then he would end up with an A and I would end up with a C.

It's an aging team with a number of key stars at the end of the line. But they are still a highly professional unit. How fit Bumrah is will have a huge effect on their chances.
0-3 Not even in the wildest imagination i expected. Same way India lost to Srilanka in a ODI series after 26 years or so. They are breaking some great records like this oflate under Nohit sharma. So it is logical to expect such a performance. They keep reinforcing it with their performance like they failed in the domestic against no name bowlers.
 
Rohit's selfless intent drama is all about hiding his fitness issues by bashing bowlers in pp and getting out soon after pp as he cant run and stay longer.Kohli can't rotate the strike against the spinners as shown in lanka series. After a long time England bowlers are looking good in both departments. So it not easy for both players to get away.
People don't understand this. Rohit can't bat full 50 overs. His fitness is crap. Now reflex is also shot. It is going to be one embarrassing campaign.
 
Dubai is a terrible venue for India. India would have been favorites if we were playing the entire tournament was in Pakistan. At least Srilanka would have been a better option.

In fact Dubai works better for Pakistan than Pakistan grounds.

So on conditons no one is clear favorite. I would say Aussies favorite on their mental toughness. Rest it is an open lottery

I think even gambhir knows the dismal result ahead.that's y he is making every t20 win as scoring point over no hit and his best friend agarkar.

You know you make a good point about Rohit that I didn't think about before.

Kohli truly has nowhere to hide. His struggles against left arm spin are also well-known.

Against balls that turned away in ODIs (leg breaks, left arm breaks, doosras , chinaman googlies etc.)

Kohli (2012 -2019)

Average 94.3, strike rate - 100.0


Kohli (2020 - )

Average - 37 , strike rate 82.


A very average player of away spin when at one point he was elitest of the elite away spin players.
 
India will ace the tournament, a farewell for VK & Rohit.

Art of negotiation is all about hiding the real intention to maximise the profits. That's the base of pr.
 
Zaheer Khan predicts 2025 Champions Trophy semi-finalists

The prestigious ICC Champions Trophy is all set to return after a gap of eight years, with the 2025 edition being played across Pakistan and UAE. The tournament is scheduled to begin on February 19 and will see eight of the world's top teams competing for the iconic Champions Trophy. Meanwhile, former Indian bowler Zaheer Khan has made his predictions for the semi-finalists.

India, who have been in brilliant form in the limited-overs format in recent years, entered the tournament as the favorites. They have reached the knockout stages of every ICC ODI event since their 2011 World Cup victory. Zaheer expressed his confidence in India and named his other three picks.

“There’s no doubt in the fact that India will be in the Semi-Finals; apart from them Australia might be seen, New Zealand has always done well in these tournaments. My fourth pick will be South Africa, who have also been promising in white-ball cricket,” said Zaheer Khan while replying to a query from CricTracker during a media interaction arranged by Lucknow Super Giants.


 
Australia has lost Cummins, Hazlewood and Marsh due to injury... Still think that they will win the event without them????

South African are without Anrich Nortje and Gerald Coetzee . Pakistan without saim and India will be without Bumrah .

So injury are part of the game .these are not an excuse
