Virat Kohli puts on captaincy hat in Champions Trophy final

And that's why both of them are really focussed during the match and it was quite visible as Virat Kohli was seen giving captaincy tips to Rohit Sharma about field settings. The incident occurred during the seventh over and on the third ball and openers Rachin Ravindra and Will Young were trying to give the Black Caps a flying start.

Rohit Sharma was seen having a hard time and that is when Virat Kohli was seen helping him. India's star pacer Mohammed Shami dropped Rachin Ravindra's catch on the last ball of the over as the Men in Blue were aiming to take a wicket and Kohli very smartly took up the responsibility and ensured that they got the much-needed breakthrough.

India did finally take the wicket of Will Young during the next over as Varun Chakravarthy dismissed Will Young. The Men in Blue then dismissed dangerous batters like Rachin Ravindra and Kane Williamson during the next few overs and New Zealand went from 57/0 to 75/3.
