The eye of international cricket fans separates toward left-hander Rachin Ravindra of the Black Caps as he leads the New Zealand team against India in the Champions Trophy 2025 final. Through ICC tournaments the sophisticated left-handed batter has established his record of five ODI hundreds with appearances at the 2023 World Cup delivering three hundreds and two more at the current Champions Trophy. Ravindra stands out among batters because of his steady yet dangerous batting style that presents strong opponents to Indian bowlers. Three Indian bowlers who will pose problems to him in the decisive final match will be analysed.
Shami And Pandya Could Pose A Tough Challenge For Ravindra
Mohammed Shami functions as a vital weapon in India’s battle against Rachin Ravindra because of his experience and bowling talents in the Champions Trophy final. Despite sporadic success in this tournament Shami continues to display his abilities as a top-class cricketer following his 7-wicket performance in the recent Champions Trophy semis against New Zealand. Fast bowlers tend to be Ravindra’s target which Shami can exploit through aggressive bowling on the slow Dubai pitch. Hardik Pandya is capable of creating confusion in the mind of Rachin Ravindra through his varied delivery speeds because he already secured the batter’s dismissal during the group stage.
Kuldeep Yadav’s Wrist Spin Could Be India’s X-Factor
India’s secret weapon against Rachin Ravindra could prove to be Kuldeep Yadav even though he is performing below his potential. The New Zealand batter shows excellent ability against spinners but his IPL 2024 competition against wrist spinners indicates a possible fault in his game. Rohit Sharma could use Kuldeep as a tactical weapon to disrupt Ravindra whenever he appears steady in his batting stance and then achieve the eventual dismissal. A strong performance against Ravindra can make Kuldeep vital for India’s mission to control the New Zealand batter throughout the final match.
