India National Cricket Team batter Virat Kohli has been a live wire in the field in the ongoing game against the New Zealand National Cricket Team. The 12th game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is taking place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.

After posting a total of just 249 runs on the board, the India National Cricket Team are putting in hard yards with the ball as well as in the field. The Rohit Sharma-led side has kept things tight with the ball and hasn't allowed the New Zealand National Cricket Team to score freely, taking two early wickets as well.

India National Cricket Team is keeping things tight in the field

While the India National Cricket Team is keeping things tight in the field, Kane Williamson is holding the fort for the New Zealand National Cricket Team. The premier batter has batted brilliantly and is slowly chipping in with runs, putting pressure on the opposition.

However, the India National Cricket Team had a great opportunity to remove Kane Williamson early in his innings, but the chance was bottled down by Varun Chakravarthy. The spinner dropped the catch, and it gave a reprieve to the batter, who, after that, looked solid.

On the second ball of the 20th over, Kuldeep Yadav bowled a short and down leg ball, to which Kane Williamson played the pull. The ball went uppish towards Varun Chakravarthy, who was standing just around the area where the leg umpire stood.

Varun Chakravarthy put in a dive to the right at square leg but he didn't grab it. Although it was a tough chance but it was catchable. Kuldeep Yadav deliberately bowled a short ball on pads with square leg catching, and the plan almost worked, but Varun bottled it.

This made Virat Kohli extremely angry as he was seen shouting at Varun Chakravarthy. Even skipper Rohit Sharma also was furious with the effort as the spinner dropped the catch.

Varun Chakravarthy, who was included in the team for this fixture, has been extremely handy with the ball. The mystery spinner removed Will Young in his first spell and provided his team with the crucial breakthrough.

Virat Kohli scores just 11 runs against New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025

Coming to Virat Kohli, the India National Cricket Team batter didn't have a great outing with the bat. The premier batter was back in the hut after scoring just 11 runs. He attempted to play aggressively but his stay at the crease was cut short by Glenn Phillips in the field.

Virat Kohli, who slammed a magnificent century in the match against Pakistan, slammed just two boundaries in his innings. The batter will be key for the team in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final, which will be played on 4th March.
