India and New Zealand, after nearly 4 years, are going to clash in an ICC tournament final. The last time they faced each other was in June 2021 in the inaugural edition of the World Test Championship final, where the Kiwis got the better of the Indian side to lift the title. Now, India will seek revenge for the previous defeat when they play against the Kiwis in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final at Dubai International Stadium. Here are the names of the top 5 players whose performances matter a lot in the final.
Virat Kohli
Time after time, Virat Kohli has proved why he is one of the top players in any format. In the semi-final 1 of the Champions Trophy, he kept his nerve to lead India to a successful chase against an opponent like Australia. Though he didn’t make it to his century, he ensured his team an easy path to victory. Though he didn’t score many runs against New Zealand in their league-stage clash, no one can deny how important his presence on the field is. Hope people will see one more of Virat Kohli’s special in the final.
Rachin Ravindra
New Zealand’s all-rounder is one of the key players from the Kiwi’s side in the Champions Trophy 2025. He has contributed with both the bat and the ball. So far, the left-handed opener has scored 2 centuries in the three matches he played and proved a great asset for New Zealand in the bowling attack. So far, he has picked up 2 wickets in the tournament and will be looking to continue his dream run in the final.
Varun Chakravarthy
India’s late inclusion in the playing XI of the Champions Trophy 2025, Varun Chakravarthy brought the depth in spin bowling attack of the Indian side. In the first match he played in the tournament against New Zealand, he picked a fifer, and then in the semi-final against Australia, he picked up the crucial wicket of Travis Head to boost his team’s morale. He can be a mystery to decode for New Zealand in the final.
Mitchell Santner
New Zealand’s skipper Mitchell Santner is a master at making adjustments, and as he has played one match already at the venue, he will surely devise a game plan against India. His swift bowling change in the semi-finals against South Africa yielded results, as he himself cleaned the top batters of the opponents’ side to ensure his team’s victory.
Shreyas Iyer
Shreyas Iyer has revived India many times in the tournament. His calm batting attitude and mindset of playing according to the demands of the game have helped India in matches against New Zealand and Australia. He will be one of the players who could create problems for the New Zealand side in the final.
