The Indian team will play against New Zealand in the final of the Champions Trophy on Sunday. Kane Williamson and Rachin Ravindra are in a great rhythm. However, before going against a tough opponent, the anxiety of the Indian camp increased. Prior to the March 9 ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand, India's top batsman, Virat Kohli, reportedly sustained an injury during a training session. Virat's injury is not good news for the Indian team and fans before going against the Kiwis. Speculation has already started about whether he can play in the final at all.
On Saturday, the Indian cricketers came to practice at the ICC Cricket Academy in Dubai. Batters practice in the nets before the final. After handling the spinners for a long time, Virat was doing batting practice against the pacers. A ball from a pacer in the net hit Virat's knee. Kohli was forced to stop practicing.
The pain was evident in his eyes. Immediately, the team physio and members of the medical team rushed to the spot. After spraying to reduce the pain, Virat was bandaged on the injured part of his knee. However, Virat did not leave the field despite being injured. Watch the rest of the practice from the field. After this incident, everyone in the Indian team was worried.
However, the coaching staff of the Indian team later said that Virat's injury is not serious, so there is no need to worry. He will play in the final of the Champions Trophy.
India is unbeaten in the tournament so far. They have won every match. Virat has contributed a lot to this success. He has scored 217 runs in 4 matches at an average of 72.33. This includes a century in the Pakistan match and 84 against Australia in the semi-final. So Kohli is one of India's biggest hopes before going against tough opponents, the Kiwis, in the final.
