India’s Fielding Woes Continue in ICC Champions Trophy Final Against New Zealand

In a gripping ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand, India's fielding errors became a focal point as they dropped four crucial catches, significantly impacting the match's outcome. The most glaring misses occurred early in the game when Rachin Ravindra was given two lifelines within five deliveries, surviving due to dropped catches by Indian fielders.

The first blunder was committed by Mohammed Shami, whose dropped catch of Ravindra led to visible frustration from captain Rohit Sharma. The series of errors continued as India's fielding unit struggled to hold onto catches that could have altered the game's dynamics in their favor. These mistakes not only allowed New Zealand to build a formidable innings but also put additional pressure on the Indian batting lineup.

The match, held at a packed stadium, was a testament to the high stakes of the tournament, with both teams vying for supremacy. Despite the intense competition, India's inability to capitalize on early opportunities might haunt them as they reflect on what could have been a different outcome with better fielding performance.
