The last time India won a Champions Trophy was in 2013. It was under the leadership of MS Dhoni that India achieved the feat. The former Indian skipper used his resources brilliantly in the game and led the team to a stunning summit clash against England.
Parallels have been drawn and comparisons have been made between the 2013 and 2025 campaigns of India, especially after they qualified for the final of the tournament. Notably, Rohit Sharma is leading the Indian team in this tournament.
New Zealand won the toss ahead of the match and opted to bat first. The Kiwis made a good start as the openers stitched together a steady partnership for the first wicket. However, India soon made a comeback with three quick wickets.

After the fall of the fourth wicket, Daryl Mitchell and Glenn Phillips stitched together a partnership of 57 runs and it was looking like New Zealand was making a comeback in the game. It was at this stage it was noted that KL Rahul was giving some tips to Rohit Sharma.
Experts have always stated that a wicketkeeper gets the best view of the game and has the best position in the house to read a game. Rohit Sharma seemed to know this and hence he listened to his advice carefully.
As the video went viral, fans started comparing Rahul with Dhoni and drawing parallels that the Indian wicketkeeper is helping Rohit get control of the game like MSD did in the 2013 final.
