India will face New Zealand in the Champions Trophy final in Dubai today. This match may be the last big opportunity for India's two veteran star players, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Before this tournament, there was a question about who will retire from both the players.

Both were under pressure after poor performances in Test cricket. Kohli is 36 years old while captain Rohit is 37 . Both have been the main players of the Indian team for the last 15 years. Ever since India won the Twenty20 World Cup last year, they retired from that format of the game. The next ODI World Cup is in 2027.

That's why this tournament is considered to be the last opportunity for Kohli and Rohit. Former Indian player Praveen Kumar told Times of India , "I have full confidence, India will win the Champions Trophy under the leadership of Rohit". I want Kohli and Rohit to win one more title, and announce their retirement.'

In the final, India is considered a strong contender for the title. The team itself is also confident. India has won all four matches in the tournament in which a total of eight teams participated. In the group stage, India also defeated New Zealand by 44 runs. Both teams had already reached the semi-finals before that match.

India, which has refused to go to Pakistan amid political tension, has played all its matches in Dubai. Kohli also silenced his critics by scoring 100 not out in the league stage against Pakistan. Similarly, in the semi-final against Australia, he also played a decisive innings of 84 runs.

Rohit's 41 runs in the first match against Bangladesh is Rohit's greatest individual performance, but the way he has led the team and adopted an aggressive strategy, it is being appreciated . India's spin attack has also been strong as they look to win the Champions Trophy for a record third time.
