Viral: Virat Kohli Shares Special Moment With Anushka Sharma After Champions Trophy Semi-Final Win
March 5, 2025: Dubai:
Virat Kohli silenced critics and once again proved why he is regarded as one of the greatest chasers in cricket history. After a spectacular unbeaten century against Pakistan earlier in the tournament, the Indian batting maestro played a crucial 84-run knock off 98 balls against Australia in the Champions Trophy 2025 semi-final, guiding India to a four-wicket victory.
While Kohli’s innings lacked sixes, it was a display of controlled aggression and strategic running, with 56 singles and four twos underscoring his exceptional fitness and ability to anchor a chase.
Amidst the celebrations, a heartwarming moment between Kohli and his wife, Bollywood actor Anushka Sharma, stole the spotlight. As soon as India sealed the win, Kohli looked up towards the stands, catching a glimpse of Anushka, who was seen clapping and beaming with pride. The video of the moment has gone viral on social media, delighting fans who cherish the couple’s love story.
Kohli’s match-winning effort earned him high praise from cricket experts, with former England captain Michael Vaughan hailing him as the “best chaser in history.” His ability to time his innings to perfection once again proved to be the key factor in India’s successful chase of 265 runs.
After the defeat, Australian skipper Steve Smith acknowledged that his team fell short by at least 20 extra runs, which could have changed the game’s outcome.
“I thought the bowlers did a really good job, they worked hard throughout. It was a tricky wicket to start batting on, tough to rotate the strike. If we had put up 280+, things might have been different,” Smith reflected in the post-match presentation.
Despite the loss, Smith praised his team’s fighting spirit, highlighting their dominant performance against England earlier in the tournament and expressing confidence in their growth as a squad.
India will now gear up for the Champions Trophy 2025 final, where they aim to lift the trophy under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. With Kohli back in top form and a well-balanced squad, the Men in Blue look well-poised for a memorable campaign finale.
