Jay Shah Confident Of India Winning Champions Trophy And WTC In 2025
Jay Shah expressed confidence that India will win two more ICC tournaments next year. Reflecting on Rohit Sharma’s captaincy journey, Jay Shah expressed satisfaction with his decision to back Rohit Sharma after India’s loss in the One Day International (ODI) World Cup final last November, foreseeing a turnaround with a T20 World Cup triumph.
“After winning hearts on November 23 with 10 consecutive victories, we set our eyes on winning the Cup. In Rajkot, I predicted that on June 29, we would not only win hearts but also lift the flag in Barbados, and our captain did just that,” Jay Shah remarked.
Jay Shah hinted at India’s strategy of split captaincy, with Rohit Sharma leading the Test and ODI sides, and Hardik Pandya likely to take over T20I duties following Rohit Sharma’s retirement from the format last year.
