[Saba Sports News] In a historic night for Indian cricket, Team India clinched the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, adding another prestigious title to their collection. With a stellar team performance, India outclassed New Zealand in the final, securing a four-wicket victory in Dubai.
However, beyond the thrilling match, a lighthearted post-game exchange between Hardik Pandya and host broadcaster Jatin Sapru stole the show. The star all-rounder, who made key contributions with both bat and ball, recreated a viral moment from the past.
As Sapru began to ask about his performance, Pandya cheekily interjected, “You perform well in final, what happening?”—a playful nod to a now-famous question a Bangladeshi journalist once asked West Indies’ Andre Russell after a Bangladesh Premier League (BPL) final. The exchange had everyone, including Sapru, in fits of laughter.
Reflecting on the victory, Pandya added, “Always amazing to win an ICC event. I remember 2017 very closely, couldn’t finish that time. Very pleased to have done it here. KL Rahul was calm, took his chances at the right time. He has immense talent—no one can time it as well as him.”
With this triumph, India extended their ICC dominance, and fans wasted no time making Pandya’s hilarious moment go viral on social media, turning it into one of the most talked-about highlights of the tournament.
