On the eve of the first Test against South Africa at the iconic Eden Gardens, India captain Shubman Gill stated that the playing XI will be decided on the morning of the match. He noted that the combination is more or less decided, and a call on whether to play an extra spinner or pacer will be made on the D-Day. The biggest question around that is whether star spinner Kuldeep Yadav will feature in the playing XI, or if he will once again have to warm the bench. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/will-kuldeep-yadav-play-first-test-against-south-africa-analysis-of-india-s-predicted-playing-xi-2025-11-13-1017353
India skipper Rohit Sharma is set to lead India in the ODI World Cup for the first time in his career. India got knocked out in the semi-final of T20 World Cup which was also his first ICC event as the captain of India. Though he is at the peak of his powers now, Rohit himself has gone through a lot when it comes to non-selections when he was yet to become an opener. Perhaps, the most shocking omission of his career was not being picked in the 2011 World Cup squad that India eventually won.source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/i-remember-rohit-sharma-recalls-yuvraj-singh-s-gesture-after-being-dropped-from-2011-wc-squad-2023-08-28-889412
