ICC Champions Trophy 2025 FINAL: India get ready to play in another final in a few hours from now. Rohit Sharma would be leading his side against New Zealand in Dubai on Sunday hoping to clinch another ICC title. While it won't be easy against New Zealand, Rohit and his men would still start favourites as they beat the Blackcaps in the group-stage match.

But again, they would also know that it is a different day and a new game. On the eve of the summit clash, head coach Gautam Gambhir along with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were spotted having an animated discussion. While the world speculated and wondered what it was all about, we now understand that it may have been about the pitch that would be used for the match and how it has changed. 

Since Thursday, the temperature has dropped and that has meant dew creeping in the evening. In the games played up until now in Dubai, it has been rather dry which has allowed India to play a certain combination. So, the talk between the three could have been around that. So, does the change of conditions mean that there would be a change of personnel? That would be interesting to see if India go spin-heavy again or tinker with their winning combination.

Due to the uncertainty of conditions present, the toss would be mighty important. 

India captain Rohit Sharma has not been too lucky with it and he has also admitted that the team is ready for whatever is thrown at them. 

India is the only unbeaten team, New Zealand have lost one and that has been against the Men in Blue. What would work in New Zealand's favour is that they have been to Dubai and played a game already.
