🏏ICC Champions Trophy 2025: India vs New Zealand, Final:9th March🏏 - Page 152

Varun: I do have earrings like Shreyas Iyer (on having earrings), I'll get a new one though. It was a sudden inclusion (on being part of the XI from the league match against New Zealand), I didn't expect to turn out like this, a dream come true. The spin was less in the first innings and I had to be disciplined, just stick to the basics.

KL Rahul is in for a chat. He says that he was really nervous, but with a couple of batters still to come to bat, it was all about holding his composure. Says it's not easy, but is happy to do the job for the side. Adds that he has batted in times like these, three out of five times and it has given him the experience to play under such situations with good preparations. Says they had to soak in a lot of pressure and credits the BCCI and the domestic cricket for giving them the exposure to play this kind of cricket.

Like this was a wholesome tournament.. Everyone contributed.. Varun Rahul hardhik axar virat rohit shreyas jadega everyone contributed.. Wow what a tournament

Ravindra Jadeja is in for a chat next. He says Hardik and KL Rahul batted really well in the last 10 overs on a trickly pitch which changed the momentum. Mentions that this win means a lot for him after playing for so long and winning big tournaments is what makes it all worthwhile.

The game was even-stevens at that stage. New Zealand's spinners were on top and India needed someone to soak up the pressure, and that's what Shreyas Iyer did along with Axar Patel.

This time, the middle order definitely played well, everyone had their fair share of contribution

Shreyas Iyer is in next. He says he is feeling ecstatic and this being his first ICC Trophy he is just overwhelmed. Adds that he likes to thrive under pressure and he hasn't been able to convert his starts to a big one but whenever his knock comes in handy for the teams's win he feels good about it.

No

Axar should given

Shreyas Iyer: Feeling ecstatic, it’s ineffable, hard to put it into words. It’s my first ICC trophy, I’m out of words looking at everyone. The way everyone has performed, it’s been great. To be honest, I love to play under pressure, I feel like I thrive under pressure. I’ve been getting into such situations and it was great to contribute to the win.
