India's KL Rahul has said that they will not taking New Zealand lightly in Sunday's Champions Trophy fixture. "New Zealand have always been a very formidable and very competitive team. They've done really well over the years. We have played against them a lot of times. At ICC events as well and they've done well against us. It's been quite even, the contest, so I think it should be no different," India's wicketkeeper-batter said at a press conference on Friday.

It was being speculated that skipper Rohit Sharma and pace ace Mohammad Shami could miss the New Zealand encounter due to injury worries. However, Rahul clarified that the Indian team has no injury concerns at the moment. "Fitness-wise there are no concerns about anyone missing a game as far as I know," Rahul added.
