India's Champions Trophy squad and their performance in the IPL 2017
Here is an analysis of the team India squad and their individual performances in the IPL.
Ravindra Jadeja
Ravindra Jadeja was being tipped to be ruling the Indian Premier League this season. He has been the prime all-rounder for India in the recent times. Also, he will be the key to India’s campaign in the Champions Trophy. However, his IPL numbers are not very pleasing this year.
Playing for the Gujarat Lions, Jadeja could only muster 158 runs in 12 matches. He has no fifty to boast about in the season. With the ball, the time for him was even more disappointing. In the 12 matches that he played, he picked up only 5 wickets and averaged almost 70 with the ball.
Mohammed Shami
Mohammad Shami had a decent time with the ball in the Indian Premier League this year. He even managed to win a player of the match award in one of the league game fixtures. In absence of Zaheer Khan, he was the bowling spearhead for Delhi Daredevils in a few matches.
Coming to the Champions Trophy, he will be the main man for India in the pace bowling attack. Shami scalped 5 wickets in the 8 matches that he played. He gave runs at an economy of almost 10. However, his form is expected to improve in the fifty overs format where he has been quite lethal for the national colors.
Umesh Yadav
Umesh Yadav had a good outing for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL this year. He was one of the regular faces in the playing eleven after having missed out the initial bit of the tournament due to an injury. Umesh Yadav finished as the 8th leading wicket-taker this season.
Umesh bagged 17 wickets in the 14 matches that he played this year. He had his best figures of 4/33 which looks very impressive. Despite his economy rate being on the higher side, he was a proven wicket taker with a strike rate of 17.11.
