India secured a 44-run victory over New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but Ravindra Jadeja faced criticism for running on the pitch while appealing for Tom Latham’s wicket. Commentator Simon Doull slammed Jadeja, saying, “You can’t do that.” Despite the controversy, Varun Chakravarthy’s five-wicket haul led India to defend 249. Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets, while Axar Patel, Hardik Pandya, and Jadeja claimed one each. Kane Williamson’s 81 kept New Zealand in the chase, but India’s spinners dominated. With this win, India topped the group and will face Australia in the semi-finals.
