India's Winning Formula: Hunger Without Desperation

India is set to take on New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final on Sunday with a craving for a win but not desperation, says Shubman Gill. This calmness is because of their previous T20 World Cup triumph, which eliminated the pressure of winning an ICC title. India's batting unit, which includes Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, has been a runaway success through the tournament. The squad is still concentrating on the final, shunning any retirement speculation surrounding major players. India has a narrow advantage in their ODI head-to-head match record against New Zealand, having won 61 out of 119 games. The final will take place in Dubai, with Monday acting as a reserve day in case of interruptions due to weather.
