Kuldeep Yadav struck twice in succession to put India on top in the ICC Champions Trophy final, removing Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson in his first two overs. India’s spinners brought them back into the game after a good start for New Zealand. With his first delivery of the afternoon, Kuldeep got the big wicket of Rachin with a googly that left the opener tangled, and the stumps rattled. Shortly after, he had Williamson caught and bowled. Earlier, Varun Chakaravarthy provided India’s first breakthrough, in his 2nd over, he breached opener Will Young’s defence to trap him LBW.
