India vs New Zealand, Champions Trophy Final press conference Live: Rohit Sharma to retire? Shubman Gill reacts

Virat Kohli and Kane Williamson are in top form heading into the contest and Shastri tipped both men to be potential gamechangers for their respective sides. The former India coach also said that Rachin Ravindra can also be a gamechanger.

“Now (on) current form, Kohli. When these guys get hot and you let them get their first 10 runs, then they’re trouble. Whether it’s Williamson, whether it’s Kohli,” Shastri said.

“So from New Zealand, I would say Williamson. To an extent, Ravindra, he is a fabulous young player.

“But these guys when they smell the coffee and you let them, in a final, get to that 10-15, then they’re doubly dangerous.”
