The First Innings between India and New Zealand is over and India need 252 to lift the Champions Trophy Cup. New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first, marking an intriguing turn of events for Indian captain, Rohit Sharma. I say so, Rohit Sharma's luck ran out again, he equaled brian Lara's 12-toss losing streak this also marked 15th toss loss for India. New Zealand’s innings began with a flourish. Their openers danced down the pitch, finding boundaries with ease and swiftly crafting a robust partnership of 57 runs. On the Indian side, however, fielding left the onlookers unimpressed. In a critical moment, Shami and Iyer let a golden opportunity slip, dropping Rachin and allowing him to remain a thorn in India's side.
