- Former Team India off-spinner R Ashwin believes that an Indian player can be Team India’s trump card against the Kiwis.
R Ashwin: In the final match of the Champions Trophy, there will be a face-to-face clash between India and New Zealand at the International Stadium in Dubai. In this match, Team India’s face-to-face with New Zealand is not going to be easy. Because Team India has faced defeat in the knockout matches played against New Zealand so far.
In such a situation, this match is going to be difficult for India. But former Team India off-spinner veteran R Ashwin believes that an Indian player can be Team India’s trump card against the Kiwis. The surprising thing is that he has not named Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Varun Chakraborty here. Rather he has described someone else as a game changer. Now who is this player, let’s know

Former Team India player R Ashwin has described Shreyas Iyer as a game-changer for Team India in the final of the Champions Trophy in a recent video on his YouTube channel Ash Ki Baat. He believes that he can perform well against New Zealand in the title match, which can benefit Team India in the title match.
Shreyas Iyer dominates against the Kiwi team
The statement given by Ravi Ashwin about Shreyas Iyer has a lot of power. Because whenever Shreyas has played against New Zealand in the last two ICC events, he has played a match-winning innings. It is known that in the league match of the Champions Trophy, he played a match-winning innings of 79 runs. Earlier, in the semi-finals of the ODI World Cup 2023, he played an innings of 105 runs in 70 balls. Statistics show that Iyer’s performance against New Zealand in ICC events is excellent.
Iyer’s recent form is excellent
Shreyas Iyer’s recent form is also excellent. He has scored runs against not only New Zealand but every team in the Champions Trophy. If we look at the runs scored by Shreyas Iyer in the last 8 matches, he has scored 45, 79, 56, 15, 78, 44, and 59 runs. The figures clearly show that he has got India a ticket to the final by performing consistently well.
