India's Champions Trophy squad and their performance in the IPL 2017

Kedar Jadhav

Kedar Jadhav was the player of the tournament when India played England in the ODI series prior to the commencement of the IPL. The Royal Challengers Bangalore side fielded him in the capacity of the wicket-keeper batsman in the IPL this season. Jadhav had a forgettable time behind the stumps as he missed some easy pickings.

With the bat, he had a moment of brilliance against the Delhi Daredevils. He hit a match-winning 69 on the night. Barring that, he failed to make key contributions for the RCB camp and that reflected in the end result of the team. Jadhav scored 267 runs in the 13 matches that he played and averaged just over 22.

Hardik Pandya

Young Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya settled in the role of the finisher for the Mumbai Indians. During the league stages, it was his quick cameo against the Kolkata Knight Riders that saw MI chase 51 runs in the last three overs of the fixture. He batted decently this season but a big score largely eluded him.

In the 17 matches that he played, he scored 250 runs with a strike rate of 156.25 and an average of 35.71 this season. He was good with the ball too and filled up overs for the bowlers who had an off day at work. He will be expected to take the new ball in the Champions Trophy as well.

Ravichandran Ashwin

The only player in the Champions Trophy India squad who was not a part of the IPL this season was Ravichandran Ashwin. A sports hernia saw Ashwin miss out on the tournament. However, he is expected to be back in the starting eleven of the team right away in the Champions Trophy.
