Virat Kohli helped Team India qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy Final
As mentioned by Dr Shama Mohamed in her tweet, Virat Kohli's 84-run knock powered India to a memorable four-wicket win in the 2025 Champions Trophy semifinal against Australia. Kohli came out to bat at number three and anchored the innings to perfection to help India chase down a 265-run target against the Aussies.
Kohli scored five fours during his 98-ball 84. During the course of the knock, Kohli also became the first cricketer to complete 1,000 runs in ICC knockouts matches.
Kohli received fine support from Hardik Pandya, KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer, and Rohit Sharma as India knocked Australia out of the tournament. It will be interesting to see if India can win the 2025 Champions Trophy final on March 9.
