 India vs New Zealand : Kiwis Trapped in the Spin Web & Rohit Sharma’s Unique Strip

Cricket is a game of uncertainties, and the ongoing India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy Final is proving just that. Despite losing his 12th consecutive toss, Rohit Sharma’s team remains unbeaten, and his leadership has once again turned the game in India’s Favor.

Kiwis’ Destructive Start

Winning the toss and opting to bat first, New Zealand came out all guns blazing. Young talents Rachin Ravindra and Will Young took on the Indian bowlers, making full use of the powerplay. Their aggressive stroke play saw the scoreboard marking rapidly, with runs flowing in the first ten overs. Rachin launched an early attack, ensuring the Kiwis had a flying start.

Kiwis' Caught in the Spin Web

Despite the explosive beginning, New Zealand’s batting lineup crumbled against India’s spin duo - Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy. The two wrist-spinners bowled in cycle, misleading the Kiwi batters with their variations. Rachin Ravindra, Will Young, and even the experienced Kane Williamson clear-fell cheaply, stressed to read Kuldeep’s googlies. Their top order warped like a house of cards, shifting the momentum completely in India’s Favor.

Mitchell & Bracewell’s Fighting

With New Zealand in deep trouble, Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell stabilized the ship. Mitchell played a composed innings, while Bracewell released some big hits towards the end, helping their side post a reputable total of 251 runs.

India’s Unstoppable Winning Line

Chasing 251, India’s batting lineup looks well-equipped to cruise to victory. Despite Rohit Sharma’s toss-losing streak, his captaincy has kept the team on a winning path. Given the firepower in India's batting unit, this target should not pose a big challenge.

Conclusion

While Rohit Sharma has set a weird record of losing 12 consecutive tosses, his team remains unbeaten-a testament to their dominance. New Zealand started strong, but India’s spinners turned the game on its head. Thanks to Mitchell and Bracewell’s fifties, the Kiwis managed a respectable total, but it may not be enough against India’s batting powerhouse.

With India’s spinners shining, New Zealand’s shifting performance, and Rohit Sharma’s unique leadership, this match is set to be a talking point among cricket fans for a long time..!
