"Injury Can Happen To Anyone": Ex-India Skipper Backs Mohammed Shami After Win vs NZ

Former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly hailed Team India following their win over New Zealand in the final group stage match of the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy, saying that it has the capability to defeat anyone in white-ball cricket. India booked their semifinal clash with rivals Australia on March 4 following a 44-run win over NZ in their ICC Champions Trophy match, ending the group stage on a high with three wins in three matches. Speaking to ANI, Ganguly said, "India won the last T20 World Cup (in 2024) and played in the final (of 50-over in 2023). It is a very strong team in white-ball cricket, no matter who is on the opposite side. It has the capability to defeat anyone."

Fresh 'Venue Advantage' Row, New Zealand Star Credits 'Familiarity Of Conditions' For India's Win

New Zealand pacer Matt Henry said India's familiarity with the conditions here helped them pick a suitable bowling unit as their spin quartet, particularly Varun Chakravarthy, kept his side under constant pressure during the Champions Trophy match. India, who are playing all their matches in Dubai, fielded Chakravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel against the Kiwis on Sunday during their 44-run victory in the final Group A match. "I think, obviously, the way to have four frontline spinners was a really effective way to play. I think having that luxury of knowing (conditions)…they played to the conditions beautifully. That was probably the challenge for us," Henry said in the post-match press conference.

Gambhir Gambhir Forces Massive U-Turn On Social Media Sentiments, 'KKR Quota' Memes Viral

Criticised time and again for backing his former Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) mates Harshit Rana, Varun Chakravarthy and even Shreyas Iyer for national selection, Gautam Gambhir made the entire cricket fanbase on social media take a U-turn. Gambhir was reportedly the mind behind Varun Chakravarthy's inclusion in India's ODI squad for the ICC Champions Trophy despite the fact that the mystery spinner hadn't made his debut in the 50-over format until the England series right before the marquee event. Yet, Varun shone with the ball in the match against New Zealand on Sunday, proving why Gambhir was right to back him.

Rohit Sharma Said Varun Chakravarthy "Bowls Only One Variety", Spinner Gives Smashing Reply

Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy shed light on his bond with former India ball tweaker Ravichandran Ashwin. He also revealed why captain Rohit Sharma said he doesn't bowl too many variations to the Indian batters during nets sessions. Ashwin and Chakravarthy spent time in the same dressing room at Dindigul Dragons in the Tamil Nadu Premier League (TNPL) 2024. Before India's final group stage match against New Zealand, Ashwin prophesied that Chakravarthy would replace Harshit Rana, which eventually came true.

"You Can't Do That": Commentator Blasts Ravindra Jadeja For Unacceptable Act Against New Zealand

India's spin might was in full show against New Zealand at the Champions Trophy 2025 as they spun a web and defended a low total of 249/9. It was not just another win but a comprehensive one as India outplayed New Zealand by 44 runs. Apart from Hardik Pandya, all the other Kiwi wickets were taken by spinners. Varun Chakravarthy took five, Kuldeep Yadav two, Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel one each. Jadeja got his only wicket in the 33rd over as he trapped Tom Latham in front of the wicket with a brilliant delivery. The New Zealand batter went for a reverse sweep but misjudged the line, as the ball hit his thigh.

Varun Chakravarthy Was 'Nervous' vs New Zealand In CT 2025, Then Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli Did This

The X-factor around mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy's bowling influenced his selection for India's last Champions Trophy group game in Dubai against New Zealand, skipper Rohit Sharma said on Sunday after the move proved to be a masterstroke. Chakravarthy justified his selection in the XI with excellent figures of 5/42 in 10 overs, as India registered a convincing 44-run victory to top Group A on way to the semifinals alongside the Kiwis in second place. "He has got something different about him, so wanted to try and see what he had to offer. We got to think a little about what to do for the next game, it's a good headache. If he gets it right, it's very difficult to read him," Rohit said of Chakravarthy at the presentation ceremony.

Australia Batters Focus On Spinners Ahead Of Champions Trophy Semifinals

Australia had an intense three-hour practice session at the ICC Academy on Sunday afternoon with the focus firmly on their play against spin. While senior pros like Steve Smith and Travis Head had a light hit, the youngsters went full throttle. The Australian team opted for seven ICC academy based net bowlers -- all spinners including slow left-arm orthodox Harshit Seth, a 20 year old UAE player, besides two left arm Chinaman bowlers, as many off-spinners and a leg-spinner. Australia finished second in Group B behind South Africa and both teams are camping in the UAE, waiting to know who their opponents will be in the semifinals. Australia will face table toppers from Group A, either India or New Zealand, in their last four clash.

Shreyas Iyer Continues Sublime Form With Spellbinding Performance Against NZ In ODIs

Shreyas Iyer continued his prolific form against New Zealand in the ODIs by putting another dazzling performance on exhibition during the final group stage match in the ongoing Champions Trophy on Sunday. With India tottering at 30/3 in the powerplay, Shreyas brought out all the weapons from his arsenal to lead the fight for control. He staged India's counterattack by initiating a strike rotation policy with Axar Patel before delivering a rollicking individual performance. Shreyas stabilised India's sinking ship by raising a 98-run stand with Axar and struck 79 from 98 deliveries, a perfect blend of aggression and caution.
