Young talent Yashasvi Jaiswal has been given his debut, bringing aggression and promise to the batting lineup. Additionally, Shubman Gill has been shifted to the middle order to stabilize the team in Kohli’s absence.

Captain Rohit Sharma acknowledged Kohli’s absence as a setback but expressed confidence in the team’s depth. The BCCI medical team is monitoring Kohli’s condition, ensuring his recovery before the Champions Trophy 2025.
