Champions Trophy 2025: The former India skipper and Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President, Sourav Ganguly believed that if the Men in Blue play well in the final, then they will go on to clinch the title on Sunday.
India will play New Zealand in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy on March 9 at the Dubai International Stadium. India is undefeated in the tournament so far, and the Kiwis have looked rock solid with bat and ball under Mitchell Santner’s captaincy.
The clash promises to be an epic sequel to the 2000 ICC Champions Trophy final, which New Zealand won. Men in Blue would like to avenge losses to the Blackcaps in the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup semifinal and 2021 ICC World Test Championship final.
“Best wishes to team India. It is a good team, and we hope it plays well. If we play well, we will win,” Sourav Ganguly said while speaking to ANI.
