Delhi: The final match of ICC Champions Trophy 2025 (ICC Champions Trophy) is being played between India and New Zealand today. Before this important match, there was another setback for Team India, as captain Rohit Sharma lost the toss. Rohit, who lost the toss in the last 15 matches, could not fall in his favor this time. Due to this, New Zealand decided to bat first, while the Indian team is bowling first.
On losing the toss, Rohit said that now this does not make much difference to the team and he is ready for any challenge. He said, “We have been playing here for a long time, have batted first and bowling. We have also won while chasing the target, which has given us confidence. In such a situation, the importance of the toss decreases. At the end of the day, it means how well you play. “
The Indian captain further said, “We have decided in the dressing room not to worry about the toss and play only the best cricket. New Zealand has been performing brilliantly in the ICC tournament for the last several years, so we have to give our best against them. In the final match, we will enter the ground without any change. “
If we look at the recent data on the Dubai pitch, the team that follows the target has been benefiting. Out of the last 10 matches, the team that has won 7 times has won, while the team batting 3 times has got success. Team India has also won in this tournament chasing three of its four matches. In such a situation, this strategy can prove beneficial for the Indian team.
Indian team losing toss continues, lost toss for 15th consecutive time
The process of losing the toss for the Indian team is not taking the name of stopping. India lost the toss for the 15th consecutive time against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final. Earlier, Team India had lost the toss in all the four matches played in this tournament. Apart from this, the Indian team had failed to win the toss even in the last 10 matches. This time too, New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat first, while the Indian team will have to chase the target once again.
