ICC Champions Trophy: SWOT Analysis of India's squad

Opportunities

Can Rohit Sharma make a successful return to India colours?

The competition serves as an opportunity for the likes of Rohit and Dhawan at the top to get back in the groove.

Rohit, as mentioned in the opening slide, has not played for India for a long time(his last game for India came in October 2016), but that should not take away the fact as to how good he has been in the limited-overs format for India in the last 3-4 years.

Hundreds against Australia in Australia, hundreds in India have meant that he has provided the side with the runs they require from him at the top. He now has a chance to repeat those exploits at the Champions Trophy.

Dhawan, often criticised for his inconsistent showing with the bat, will look to prove his detractors wrong at an event, where he was awarded the Man of the tournament award last time around.

In fact, a look at his performances in major 50-over events shows that he has usually delivered and he will hope to that again in England.

Another man for whom this event will serve as a good opportunity is Kedar Jadhav. Picked on the back of a good showing in the series against England, the Pune cricketer will hope to do justice to his selection in conditions much different to what he will find at home.
