"We'll be putting our thinking caps on...": NZ coach Stead on Varun Chakravarthy ahead of CT final
Mar 07, 2025
India will be playing New Zealand in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy on March 9 at the Dubai International Stadium. With India being undefeated in the tournament so far and the Kiwis having looked rock solid with bat and ball under the captaincy of Mitchell Santner, the clash promises to be an epic sequel to their 2000 ICC Champions Trophy final, when New Zealand won. Men in Blue would like to avenge losses to the Blackcaps in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal and 2021 ICC World Test Championship final.
