3. A spree of major players' probable injuries

Injuries have always posed significant challenges for sportspersons, often disrupting team dynamics and impacting their performance in major tournaments. For India, the injury concerns surrounding several key players in the 15-man squad could hinder their preparations for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy. Both KL Rahul and Virat Kohli have opted out of the Ranji Trophy, citing niggles and discomfort, raising concerns about their fitness. In the spin department, Kuldeep Yadav is recovering from a long-term groin injury, and his return to peak form may require more time.

Similarly, Jasprit Bumrah, who has been instrumental in India's success, is dealing with persistent back issues following his valiant efforts in the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy. As a precautionary step, Harshit Rana has been included as a reserve player, ready to step in if Bumrah's condition worsens and sidelines him from the ICC tournament. These speculated injuries to such impactful players underline a potential weakness in India's campaign, as their fitness will be crucial to the team's success in the high-pressure Champions Trophy.
