Rohit’s Aggressive Knock Sets the Tone
Skipper Rohit Sharma laid the foundation with his scorching 76 of 83 balls, including seven fours and three sixes. His half-century, the quickest in the tournament for India, built a solid platform before Glenn Phillips pulled off a fabulous catch to send Shubman Gill packing for 31.
Shreyas Iyer (39) and Axar Patel (30*) saw India through with ease, keeping the team on course.
Indian Spinners Dominate New Zealand Batting
Earlier, Indian bowlers turned in a clinical performance to bundle out New Zealand for 251/7. Kuldeep Yadav (2/40) and Varun Chakravarthy (2/45) tore through crucial stands, while Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with a wicket apiece.
In this victory of the Champions Trophy 2025, India added a new ICC title to their long list of cabinets.
