India played their last match of group stage against New Zealand and with a dashing win, India now sits at the top in Champions Trophy points table. The standout performer for India was Varun Chakaravarthy who took a remarkable five-wicket haul and dismantled New Zealand’s batting lineup.
With a stunning performance in his debut match, Rohit Sharma admitted that it will be a good headache to finalise the playing XI for match against Australia in Champions Trophy semifinal.
“He has got something different about him, so wanted to try and see what he had to offer. We got to think a little about what to do for the next game, it’s a good headache. If he gets it right, it’s very difficult to read him,” Rohit said at the post-match presentation.

“It will be a good game, Australia has a rich history of playing well in ICC tournaments, but it is about us and what we want to do on that particular day. It will be a great contest, looking forward to that. Hopefully, we can stitch one towards us,” said Rohit.
“Critical to possibly win every game and doing everything right in a short tournament. Important to correct mistakes quickly, and that’s where we know if your team is going up or going down. Important to finish on a high. We played a perfect game. It was important at that stage (after being 30/3) to build a partnership, and I thought we got to a good total,” said Rohit.
