Team India skipper Rohit Sharma seemingly benefitted from Virat Kohli's advice on field settings during the Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand on Sunday in Dubai. A video of the same surfaced on social media of the seventh over where Kohli was advising Rohit on field setting and the Kiwis lost a wicket on the very next over.

The Men in Blue had dropped a couple of catches in inside the first six overs, with Rachin Ravindra getting both the lifelines. Mohammed Shami dropped a caught and bowled chance, while Shreyas Iyer dropped one while coming sprinting from mid-wicket. Nevertheless, the Asian Giants started striking from the eighth over.

Varun Chakarvarthy, who had taken a fifer against the Black Caps in the group-stage game, started by dismissing Will Young. Kuldeep Yadav followed it up with the wickets of Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson to halt New Zealand's charge after their 50-run partnership.

Rohit Sharma loses 12th consecutive toss in one-day cricket

Meanwhile, the Indian captain ended up on the losing side once more when it came to the toss and Mitchell Santner became the beneficiary. The southpaw opted to bat first.

India Playing XI: Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy
