Sun Mar 09 09:51:00 UTC 2025: ## India Strikes Back After Early Dropped Catches in Champions Trophy Final
**Dubai, UAE** – India breathed a sigh of relief in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand after Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Will Young LBW, breaking a crucial 57-run opening partnership. The dismissal came after India’s fielders made two costly errors, dropping Rachin Ravindra twice earlier in the innings. Ravindra, however, remains at the crease for New Zealand, who won the toss and elected to bat first. New Zealand made one change to their team, replacing injured pacer Matt Henry with Nathan Smith, while India fielded an unchanged eleven. The 57-run opening stand between Young and Ravindra was the highest partnership against India in the tournament so far.
