ICC CHAMPIONS TROPHY 2025: On the last Sunday, India played against Pakistan at Dubai International Stadium and came on top by 6 wickets claiming victory in ICC Champions Trophy 2025. India's Team won this match by 6 wickets chasing down a target in 45 balls. With this victory, India is now almost certain with a 99% probability of qualifying for the semi-final. If New Zeland defeats Bangaldesh on Monday, then this will surely confirm that Pakistan will be out of the tournament. In that scenario, both India and New Zealand will qualify for the semi finals. Kohli also had a 50% say in the result as he scored an unbeaten 100 off 111 which made him the man of the match.
“Pakistan has succeeded in putting a stop to Virat’s century!” This is what Shaheen Afridi, pacer of the Pakistan cricket team was labelled after his game. Shaheen Afridi and the Pakistan cricket squad are getting trolled mercilessly across social media platforms. While some have defended Afridi, many have accused him of having a nefarious agenda to stop Virat Kohli from scoring yet another century. Shaheen bowled the 42nd over of the innings and to no one’s surprise, Virat Kohli scored yet another astonishing 87 runs, bringing him closer to his ODI goal. His century hinges at around 87 runs and the target is slowly creeping up to a waist yielding 51 ODI century. The match was bound to be entertaining with the hits slowly hitting double digits for both players.
Shaheen Afridi’s wide ball has left everyone scratching their heads.
Shaheen previously sowed the seeds of discontent in the Indian camp and now he is intent on giving Shaheen a taste of his own medicine. Ends yawningly predict strike and Shaheen occupies the pitch. In the Dubai International stadium, Kohli reaches the borders of a waist binding 51st ODI century while Afridi is expected to have other planes of action in mind. Shaheen has his action set to give Kolhi a taste of his infamous fael. Kohli in action super handled his style and leaves his defenders cowering at the sheer brilliance of the opener. The strike was predicted, but not like this. The Indian pacer with no intention to even let loose manages to toy with insults bound to fracture the cape of sanity. Loose sounds so bad it deserves a new dining table to do sentence with magy but some once again make the mistake of underestimating Kohli and what he can portray on the pitch.
Kohli did something unreal.
Kohli has now made fiifty one hundreds in ODIs and he now has 51 centuries in international cricket. Furthermore, he has completed a total of 27,503 runs in international cricket. This achievement puts him infront of the previous Australian skipper, Ricky Ponting, who has 27,483 runs in international cricket. To remind you, Sachin Tendulkar scored the most runs in international crickte with 34,357 runs. Kumar Sangakkara from Sri Lanka is also a great batsman and he is second in this list with 28,016 runs in international cricket.
