Champions Trophy: India Is Batting So Well That Toss Won't Matter, Says Lalchand Rajput
ODI World Cup: Despite India losing all four tosses in the 2025 Champions Trophy, Rohit Sharma's team heads into the title clash against New Zealand as the only undefeated side in the eight-team competition. Lalchand Rajput, the former Indian cricketer, believes the outcome of the toss won’t matter much in the final as India’s batting has been clicking well.
“We are chasing well. I think in the final, it's definitely the team that wins the toss. I presume they will bat first because chasing any total in a final will be a little bit of a concern. But now the Indian team is batting so well that I don't think toss matters a lot,” said Rajput in an exclusive conversation with IANS from Dubai.
Rajput, currently UAE’s head coach, feels New Zealand are ahead of India as far as fielding is concerned. “Fielding is one of the things which both the teams have to really work on. But here, I would give the edge to New Zealand fielding because they are top class, especially Glenn Phillips and even Williamson, the catch he took in the last game.”
