The star of the New Zealand team, Rachin Ravindra plays for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and will be the key man for the Kiwis if they are to win the mega event.

In the ongoing Champions Trophy, Ravindra missed the first match of the tournament due to an injury, but in the 3 matches he has played, the all-rounder has scored 226 runs, with two centuries under his name.

He is their man in form and will be a potent weapon and match-winner as the Kiwis take on India.

The man in form for the Indian side, Virat Kohli has been one of the best players of the tournament and has already anchored two clinical chases in the tournament.

He started with a low score Vs Bangladesh, but came back to slam a scintillating ton against Pakistan and also scored a match-winning fifty Vs Australia in the semis. Once again, all eyes will be on Kohli as the man with 217 runs in the tournament, will be the danger man and the crucial wicket for the Kiwis. He already has a century under his belt in the Champions Trophy and will look to add more when the two teams will collide.

The newest member of the Mumbai Indians family, Mitchell Santner is a street smart cricketer and has showcased his class in the tournament thus far. He has led from the front and already has 7 wickets in the tournament, at an economy of just 4.85.

The wily spinner turned the tables in the semis Vs South Africa as he scalped 3 quick wickets and won the game for his side. Once again he'll be the key man as India struggle against left-armers and Santner can take advantage of it.
