Hot Picks For IND vs NZ Dream11 Team Today

India

Virat Kohli

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 217 Runs in 4 Matches
• The Indian maverick has been in a good form in the tournament. Even though, he has not scored runs consistently, Virat Kohli delivered for the team in the two important matches. With this being the most important game of the tournament and Kohli being in good form, he could be one of the hot-picks for the match.

Shreyas Iyer

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 195 Runs in 4 Matches
• The Indian middle-order batter was in a good form during the group stages of the match. Shreyas Iyer has been consistent enough and could be a very important choice for the fantasy contests. 

Varun Chakravarthy

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 7 Wickets in 2 Matches
• The Indian mystery spinner has been one of the biggest weapons in India's arsenal. The Dubai Pitch has suited Varun Chakaravarthy and he has picked up wickets that has changed the complexion of the games. Given the impact he is leaving on the games, Varun Chakravarthy could be a very important choice for the fantasy contests. 

New Zealand

Rachin Ravindra

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 226 Runs in 3 Matches
• The young Indian all-rounder has been in a good form in the tournament. In the three matches that he has played, Rachin Ravindra has scored two hundreds. So, the southpaw is in a very good form and has the momentum with him to be one of the top picks for the game.

Tom Latham

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 191 Runs in 4 Matches
• The Kiwi wicket-keeper and middle-order batter has done a good job for the team. Tom Latham has provided dynamism to the line-up and will be one of the top picks for the game.

Mitchell Santner

• Champions Trophy 2025 Form: 7 Wickets in 4 Matches
• The Kiwi spinner was not in the best of forms at the start of the tournament. However, in the semi-final against South Africa, Mitchell Santner emerged as a game changer and given the form he is carrying, he could be a differential choice for the match.
