The Indian left-arm wrist-spinner, Kuldeep Yadav has silenced his critics, who were talking about the lack of his wickets in the knockout stages of the tournament. He has done it in style and has picked up one of the biggest wickets in the final of the Champions Trophy 2025. 

Notably, New Zealand won the toss ahead of the game and opted to bat first. They started well with Will Young and Rachin Ravindra stitching a steady partnership for the opening wicket.

However, in the 11th over of the innings Kuldeep Yadav stunned the Kiwi opener, Rachin Ravindra. On the first delivery of the the over, Kuldeep bowled a good length ball which was a googly. Ravindra failed to read the delivery and tried to defend it from inside the crease.

The ball went through the gap between the bat and the ball and crashed into the off stump. Kuldeep was ecstatic with the wicket. Ravindra could have become a great threat to the Indian team as he was in great form. The Kiwi batter had two centuries in the last three games and could have taken the game away from Rohit Sharma and his unit if he batted longer. 

The wicket brought about a break in the momentum of the Kiwi innings. Immediately after that Kane Williamson was also sent back to the hut by Kuldeep and India made a rocking comeback into the game.
