India’s cricket fans are on cloud nine as the national team clinched the Champions Trophy 2025 title against New Zealand. Amid the celebrations, a heartwarming moment between Virat Kohli and Anushka Sharma has gone viral. Kohli, overwhelmed with joy, ran straight to the stands to hug his wife, creating a picture-perfect moment that left fans emotional.

As seen in viral videos and pictures, Kohli sprinted towards Anushka right after the victory. The couple shared a tight hug, with huge smiles on their faces. The stadium erupted with cheers as this emotional moment unfolded. Fans flooded social media with clips of their heartfelt embrace, calling it the "best moment of the night." Bollywood and sports personalities also joined in the celebrations. Actor Abhishek Bachchan took to Instagram Stories and wrote, “The trophy is coming home! A masterclass of skill, grit, and passion by Team India. On top of the world.”

Earlier in the match, Anushka’s reaction to Kohli’s dismissal had also gone viral. When the star batter was caught out, the actress looked visibly disappointed. A fan shared her reaction on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption, “The reaction of New Zealand players and Indian fans after Virat Kohli wicket. – Anushka Sharma went down in disappointment too.” In the viral image, Anushka was seen with her finger on her lips, looking heartbroken at the unexpected dismissal.

Despite early setbacks with Shubman Gill and Kohli’s dismissals, Rohit anchored the innings. Shreyas Iyer (48) and Axar Patel (29) added crucial runs, keeping India on track. KL Rahul (34) and Hardik Pandya (18*) carried the momentum, before Ravindra Jadeja sealed the victory with the winning runs.

The final, held at Dubai International Stadium, was a high-pressure match, especially for Captain Rohit Sharma. Speculations suggested that if India lost, it could be his last international match. However, Rohit led from the front, scoring a brilliant 76 off 83 balls. With this knock, he became India’s highest-scoring ODI captain, surpassing Sachin Tendulkar. This win cemented his legacy as the only Indian captain to win three Champions Trophy titles.

With this historic triumph, India reclaimed the Champions Trophy and strengthened their status as one of the world’s most dominant cricket teams.
