Indian cricket team
India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy Final: The Mahamukabala of the Champions Trophy 2025 final will be played between India and New Zealand on 9 March at the Dubai ground. The Indian team defeated Australia in the semi -finals. At the same time, the Kiwi team defeated South Africa in the semi -finals. In the Champions Trophy, the first final match between the two teams has been played in the year 2000. The New Zealand team was victorious then. This time Team India’s eyes will be on revenge. In the current tournament, the Indian team has done well under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma and the team is invincible in the tournament. Let’s know, how can Team India’s playing XI can be in the final against New Zealand?
This can be an opening pair
In the Champions Trophy 2025, Shubman Gill is seen in a good rhythm and he is getting a lot of runs out of his bat. He has also scored a century. On the other hand, captain Rohit Sharma has also scored fast. In such a situation, only the pair of these two players can once again appear on the field. At number three, superstar batsman Virat Kohli is sure to land. Kohli played good innings in the match against Pakistan and Australia and gave India a victory. He is the highest run -scorer in the current tournament. He has scored 217 runs in 4 matches so far. In the final, the Indian team will once again expect a big innings from them.
KL Rahul can get the responsibility of wicketkeeper
Shreyas Iyer can be launched on number-4. In the Champions Trophy 2025, Iyer has proved to be the backbone of the Indian batting order and has presented a sample of the best batting. He has also scored two half -centuries so far. All -rounder Akshar Patel can be given a chance at number five. The letters score runs quickly and prove to be helpful in increasing the run speed. Apart from this, he can also do 10 overs in bowling. The responsibility of wicketkeeper can be entrusted to KL Rahul.
Mohammed Shami has experience
The responsibility of the fast bowling attack can be given to Mohammed Shami. He has experience and he can change the attitude of the match in a few balls to be in rhythm. Hardik Pandya can play the role of another fast bowler. The responsibility of spin department can be entrusted to Ravindra Jadeja and Varun Chakraborty. Varun has been successful in impressing everyone with his game.
Kuldeep Yadav screwed up
But the thing to see will be whether captain Rohit Sharma gives a chance to Harshit Rana by excluding spinner Kuldeep Yadav or goes to the finals with old combination. Kuldeep has been able to take only five wickets even in the current tournament. Even a single wicket has come to his account against Australia and Bangladesh.
Indian team’s possible playing XI in the final against New Zealand:
Rohit Sharma (captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, KL Rahul, Hardik Pandya, Akshar Patel, Ravindra Jadeja, Varun Chakraborty, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav/Harshit Rana.
