Google wishes Team India luck for 2025 Champions Trophy with iconic Karan Johar movie reference [In Picture]

Google India has wished the Indian cricket team luck for the 2025 Champions Trophy. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Google India shared a picture with some Bollywood flair featuring Karan Johar's iconic movie 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum'.

The picture is of veteran actor Jaya Bachchan in a still from the movie. In the picture, the search bar reads 'India Champions Trophy wins', with the search result stating that the Men In Blue have the most final appearances in the history of the tournament with two wins as well (2013 and 2002).

"Wishing the best for Team India. Keh diya na, bas keh diya 😌💙 Picture Credits: @DharmaMovies," the post is captioned.

The text above Jaya Bachchan also reads 'Me waiting again, 12 years later'. This is a reference to India's Champions Trophy win in 2013 and the fans waiting for them to win the tournament again after 12 years in the 2025 edition.

The MS Dhoni-led India defeated England in a low-scoring thriller in the final of the 2013 edition in England to win the title. They came close to defending the title in 2017 but lost to arch-rivals Pakistan in the final.
