CT Finale: India Loses 15th Toss, Fine Start For NZ

The final match of the champions trophy 2025 has officially gotten underway with India facing New Zealand in this high-profile game that is being played at the Dubai International Stadium.

As shocking, as it may sound, India has lost the toss again, and this happens to be the 15th consecutive time that the men in blue have lost the toss in ODIs.

Technically speaking, India hasn’t won a toss in the ODI format since 2023 World Cup final. This happens to be one of the biggest toss losing streaks in International Cricket ever.

New Zealand won the toss and decided to bat first in the big final clash, and this is a calculated decision as teams like to put a big score on the board while batting first in knockout games.

However, losing the toss might not be the worst thing to happen to India as knowing the target and batting accordingly will be a crucial advantage that could help the team. However, this will require seniors like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli to stand up in the run chase and deliver a big innings.
