Varun Chakravarthy's remarkable five-wicket haul (5/42) propelled India to a 44-run victory over New Zealand in the 2025 Champions Trophy. Batting first, India posted 249/9, with Shreyas Iyer contributing a crucial 79 runs. Chakravarthy's spin dismantled New Zealand's batting lineup, restricting them to 205 in 45.3 overs. This performance not only marked the best-ever bowling figures by an Indian on Champions Trophy debut but also secured India's top spot in Group A, setting up a semifinal clash against Australia.
