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.

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.

Shreyas Iyer Fifty, Varun Chakravarthy Fifer Help India Beat NZ by 44 Runs; Australia Await In Semifinals

Shreyas Iyer's pressure-defying fifty and Varun Chakravarthy's spin masterclass helped India script a 44-run win over New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday to top Group A, setting up the semifinal against Australia in the Champions Trophy. Iyer made a composed 79 off 98 balls under pressure but New Zealand, led by pacer Mark Henry (5/42), managed to stifle India to an under-par 249 for nine. Chasing 250 was not a tall order for New Zealand's capable batting unit but they struggled against India's spin quartet led by Chakravarthy (5/42) to be all out for 205 in 45.3 overs. Kane Williamson's gritty 81 went in vain. India will face Australia, who finished second in Group B, in the first semifinal in Dubai on Tuesday while the Kiwis play South Africa in the other semifinal in Lahore on Wednesday.

The veteran reminded Iyer's century against New Zealand in the ODI World Cup semi-final in a high-scoring contest which India won by 70 runs at Wankhede Stadium. "It's Shreyas Iyer once again in ICC event against NZ. His phenomenal run continues, high time the world starts talking about his strengths and not keep pointing to his weakness," Kaif wrote on X.

Virat Kohli, Hardik Pandya Can't Believe After India Teammate's Costly Error vs New Zealand In CT 2025

The India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy 2025 saw Varun Chakravarthy in full flow. The mystery spinner took five wickets as India beat New Zealand by 44 runs despite setting a low target of 250. However, one of his fielding errors went viral as he could not stop a ball and it resulted in a four. It happened in the third over of the match when Hardik Pandya bowled to Will Young. The Kiwi sent the ball towards mid-on. Varun ran for the catch, missed it and then the ball hit his leg to go past the boundary lone. Hardik hid his face, while other members of the team like Virat Kohli were shocked.

Shreyas Iyer produced a composed fifty under pressure but New Zealand, led by pacer Mark Henry, managed to stifle India to an under-par 249 for nine in their Champions Trophy Group A match on Sunday.
