Team India star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja said that he bats at a position in One-Day cricket where he gets a chance to become ‘either a hero or a zero’ after Men In Blue’s emphatic win over New Zealand on Sunday.

Rohit Sharma says he’s ‘not going to retire from this format’ after India win Champions Trophy

Rohit Sharma says he’s ‘not going to retire from this format’ after India win Champions Trophy

India captain Rohit Sharma cleared the air on his rumoured retirement plans by telling journalists at the post-match press conference that he has no plans to retire. “One more thing: I’m not going to retire from this format. Just to make sure that no rumours are spread moving forward,” Rohit Sharma said at the end of the press conference on Sunday after he had guided India to its third Champions Trophy title. Thanks to a 76 from him at the top of the innings, India chased down New Zealand’s 252-run target with an over to spare and four wickets in hand. In the previous games, Rohit Sharma had been losing his wicket after getting starts for India as he tried to bully the opening bowlers of opposition teams. That approach clicked on Sunday in the final, when India needed it to work the most. https://t.co/T8SDDlnVfL pic.twitter.com/Wliat5NOjr — Devendra Pandey (@pdevendra) March 9, 2025 https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js Story continues below this ad “I did the same thing today (as I did in previous games).

How Glenn Phillips has defied gravity for 3rd time in Champions Trophy

How Glenn Phillips has defied gravity for 3rd time in Champions Trophy

IND vs NZ Final Champions Trophy 2025: “We kind of expect that from Glenn.” That was New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner reaction in the post-match presentation when he was asked about Glenn Phillips’ ability to take sensational catches on the cricket field. That sure maybe the case, but every time he pulled off a stunner during the ICC Champions Trophy, Phillips made jaws drop, even though it’s become habitual for him. If there is a cricketer in the world at the moment who can make it to a playing XI purely on his athleticism in the outfield, it is Phillips. The 28-year-old, who did gymnastics at school growing up, is also training to be a pilot. “I’ll probably fly for close to four or five hours most days,” Phillips, who has a flight simulator in his room, told BBC Sport. “The other day I did Bahrain to Dubai.Sometimes I’ll do Heathrow to Manchester, other days Auckland to Christchurch. It really depends on what is floating in my boat for the day.” And boy can he …

Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma hits first fifty in 9th ICC final appearance | Cricket News

Eight years on since a three-ball duck in the 2017 Champions Trophy final against Pakistan, India captain Rohit Sharma made amends by scoring his first half-century in an ICC tournament final during the 2025 Champions Trophy summit clash against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday. The 37-year-old Rohit waltzed to his half-century in only 41 balls as India motored past 50 within eight overs of a 253-run chase against New Zealand. FOLLOW LIVE: IND vs NZ Champions Trophy Live Blog Playing in his 9th ICC tournament final across formats and 18 years, Rohit went past the half-century mark for the first time, bettering a 31-ball 47 against Australia during the 2023 ODI World Cup final against Australia in Ahmedabad.

How India caused spin choke in the Champions Trophy final

How India caused spin choke in the Champions Trophy final

IND vs NZ Final Champions Trophy 2025: This was a chokeslam, like how Undertaker would grab the scruff of his opponents’ neck and slam them down. But India’s new spin quartet – Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy – did it in the most non-violent way possible on a hot afternoon in Dubai. That the four spinners, ever since they came together during the group fixture against New Zealand a week back, were going to weave their magic seemed like a given even before Sunday’s Champions Trophy final. By the end of the first innings – where NZ managed 25/17 – they had every bit lived up to that billing. But to do so, they had to overcome the most challenging of tasks that confronted them on this trip. Except Steve Smith in the semi-finals, none of their opponents in the tournament have tried to go hard against India’s spin attack. So once their seamers – Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya – gave way to the spinners, they have effortlessly tightened the …

Rohit Sharma equals Brian Lara’s record for consecutive tosses lost

IND vs NZ Final Champions Trophy 2025: Rohit Sharma, with his 12th straight toss loss, equalled former West Indies captain Brian Lara for losing the toss the most consecutive matches in men’s One Day Internationals. Rohit equalled the unwanted record as Mitchell Santner called it right and said New Zealand will bat first in the ICC Champions Trophy final. As the call fell in favour of Santner, Rohit had a wry smile on his face as he stepped aside for the NZ captain’s chat with Ravi Shastri. The last time India won a toss in men’s ODIs was in the semifinal of the 2023 World Cup against New Zealand at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The toss-loss streak of 15 for India is already the longest in this format for countries, with the second worst streak among teams belonging to the Netherlands at 11.
