"Let's have Kiwi today" - Delhi Police's hilarious response to fans warning India ahead of 2025 Champions Trophy final against New Zealand

Ahead of the 2025 Champions Trophy final, the Delhi Police gave a hilarious response to fans warning India about the threat of New Zealand. The two nations will square off in the summit clash on Sunday, March 9, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Delhi Police took to social media, putting out a tweet on their official X (formerly Twitter) account responding to an image where fans warned India about facing New Zealand. The image showed fans holding a placard with the message - 'Are You Watching India The Kiwis R Coming'.

In response, the Delhi Police joked that the Indian team knew how to eat kiwis, a popular fruit. Additionally, they humorously pointed out that the kiwi, a bird, was flightless and wouldn't fly in Dubai as well (referring to New Zealand cricket team).

"Let them come... Team India knows how to finish Kiwi fruit... If you are talking about bird... She is flightless... So... Not gonna fly in Dubai as well.😊 @TeamIndia, Let's have Kiwi today.,. #INDvsNZ #ChampionsTrophy #Cricket," the tweet read.

In the image, the Delhi Police also mentioned that we (India) love kiwis (fruit) as they are good for health.
