Noida, March 9 -- Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's childhood coach Dinesh Lad lauded spinners for their bowling and said Men in Blue will win the ICC Champions Trophy by beating New Zealand in Dubai.

Varun Chakravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav unleashed a brilliant spin choke with two wickets while Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja played a great supporting role, restricting Kiwis to 251/7 at the end of 50 overs in the CT final, despite half-centuries from Daryl Mitchell and Michael Bracewell.

Speaking to ANI, Lad said, "India will win the Champions Trophy. All the batsmen are batting brilliantly and are in very good form... The Indian spinners bowled very well today."

New Zealand won the toss and opted to bat first.

Kiwis got off to a fine start ...
