India captain Rohit Sharma smashed a rapid half-century in just 41 balls, giving India a strong start in their chase of 252 against New Zealand in the Champions Trophy 2025 final. Rohit’s aggressive batting, including three sixes, ensured the Kiwi bowlers had no respite as India reached 65/0 in 11 overs. His first fifty of the tournament came at a crucial moment, keeping India in control. New Zealand, missing Matt Henry due to injury, need quick wickets to shift momentum. With a solid foundation, India aims to lift the Champions Trophy after a dominant start.
