Former Indian cricketer Aakash Chopra has analyzed the upcoming 2025 Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand, highlighting the pivotal role of the middle-order batsmen. Chopra emphasized the significance of India's Shreyas Iyer and New Zealand's Daryl Mitchell, noting both players' propensity to perform against their respective opponents. He remarked, "He always scores runs against us," referring to Mitchell's consistent performances against India, and similarly acknowledged Iyer's success against New Zealand. Chopra also drew parallels between the wicketkeeper-batsmen of both teams, observing that KL Rahul and Tom Latham are evenly matched, with Latham regaining form during the tournament. This analysis suggests that the middle-order battle could be a decisive factor in the final outcome.
