With hours to go before the high-stakes ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand, Team India’s stars, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Mohammed Shami, and Hardik Pandya, were spotted fine-tuning their skills in a rigorous training session in Dubai. 

A behind-the-scenes video shared by ICC and the Indian cricket team on their social media handle showcases the Indian team's laser-focused preparations, blending aggression, precision, and calm ahead of the marquee clash.

India's Big Guns Grinding Hard

In the video, Virat Kohli was seen dominating the nets, unleashing his iconic cover drives with surgical precision. Kohli, who has been in sublime form this tournament, worked on countering New Zealand’s swing and spin threat.

Skipper Rohit Sharma practised lofted shots against spinners and pacers alike, signalling his intent to take on New Zealand’s bowling attack. Hardik Pandya sharpened his death-bowling arsenal, hurling fiery inswingers at the stumps. 

Pandya’s ability to bowl yorkers and break partnerships could be pivotal in containing Kiwi power-hitters like Glenn Phillips. Shami, India’s pace spearhead, honed his seam position and variations as he aims to replicate India's campaign opener magic today.

The Stage For The Finale!

The Champions Trophy final, set for March 9 at Dubai International Stadium is technically a rematch of the 2000 edition where New Zealand edged India. However, Rohit’s men enter unbeaten, having crushed Australia in the semi-final, while the Blackcaps routed South Africa.

With India’s batting firepower and New Zealand’s knockout pedigree, this clash promises edge-of-the-seat drama. As Kohli perfects his drives and Shami polishes his yorkers, fans worldwide await a historic night under Dubai’s lights.
