Amid rumors of Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami missing the 2025 Champions Trophy match against New Zealand, KL Rahul confirmed that there are no injury concerns in India’s squad. Rohit had strained his hamstring in the previous match against Pakistan, but he stated that his fitness was okay. Shami also briefly left the field with an ankle issue but returned to bowl his quota of overs.
Rahul mentioned that there were no plans to make changes for the New Zealand clash due to the short turnaround before the semi-finals. He emphasized the importance of all players getting time on the field given the six-day break ahead. Rahul also warned against underestimating New Zealand, noting their competitiveness in ICC events.
The press conference two days before the match saw Rahul addressing these issues, ensuring fans that the team was focused and prepared for the upcoming game. Both fans and critics keenly await the match to see how India will perform against their formidable opponents.
