The Champions Trophy 2025 final between India and New Zealand at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on March 9 turned into an unforgettable spectacle. Left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav rose to the occasion, delivering crucial breakthroughs in a high-stakes encounter, putting India in a commanding position.

The momentum shifted dramatically when Kuldeep dismissed Rachin Ravindra in his very first over. However, the defining moment came soon after, as he sent New Zealand captain Kane Williamson back to the pavilion in his next over. This dismissal not only solidified India’s grip on the match but also triggered a jubilant and comical reaction from Virat Kohli.
