INDIA ODI SQUAD

The Indian men’s ODI cricket team, often referred to as the “Men in Blue,” stands as a dominant force in international cricket. Their recent triumph in reclaiming the ICC Champions Trophy in February-March 2025, after a 12-year gap, further solidified their position at the pinnacle of the 50-over format. This victory, alongside their 2024 T20 World Cup win and multiple Asia Cup titles, showcases a team consistently competing for top honors.

Led by the experienced Rohit Sharma and featuring the world’s top-ranked ODI batsman Shubman Gill, the squad blends seasoned campaigners like Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja with promising young talents. Despite facing a rare ODI series loss to Sri Lanka in August 2024, the team remains focused on building a formidable unit for future challenges, including the 2027 World Cup, emphasizing a strategic transition to integrate the next generation of cricketing stars.
