Regarding the impending Champions Trophy final, Shubman Gill said, “I think we have good momentum going with us.”

Even though Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma will receive a lot of attention, Shubman Gill, the vice captain and up-and-coming young star, will also receive some attention. Despite playing some excellent cricket in the tournament’s opening two matches, Gill has struggled to duplicate that performance in the past two games. He might have another chance to impress his class at the final. Shubman Gill gave his opinion on the final game ahead of the eagerly anticipated final.

Team India (IND) and New Zealand (NZ), who have fought fiercely in the past, will square off in the coveted Champions Trophy final. The Indian supporters will be hopeful that the Men in Blue, who have become one of the best teams, win another ICC trophy when they play New Zealand in Dubai.

There were definitely some nerves in that match, but I also learnt a lot. My first ICC Final was the one. I felt like I was running out of time to dominate that game, so I was really eager. Shubman Gill was quoted by NDTV as saying, “I think you can give yourself a little bit more time than you think in big ICC knockout matches.”

“We won the T20 World Cup in 2024 after losing the World Cup Final in 2023. Therefore, I believe we are moving along well in this tournament. We’re going to have a really interesting game, and if we win, it would be a fantastic way to wrap up this format for the year, the 25-year-old star continued.

We have a huge potential here: Shubman Gill

Additionally, Shubman Gill discussed the significance of the chance for the Indian squad, which would be participating in their third consecutive ICC final. In 2023, Team India advanced to the ODI World Cup final, while in 2024, they advanced to the T20 World Cup final. In addition, the Punjabi native discussed the immense responsibility and pressure from fans.

“It’s a huge chance for us, and generally speaking, we have a lot of responsibility and pressure from our supporters at any ICC tournament or event that takes place. And we advanced to the Final in the last two ICC tournaments we’ve participated in,” Gill said.
