"Main jaa raha hoon" - Gautam Gambhir's hilarious response to Navjot Singh Sidhu's dance request after 2025 Champions Trophy final [Watch]

Team India head coach Gautam Gambhir gave a humorous response when broadcaster and former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu asked him to perform bhangra. The exchange took place on Sunday, March 9, after India’s four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the 2025 Champions Trophy final, held at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

After choosing to bat first, New Zealand posted 251/7 in their 50 overs. In response, India captain Rohit Sharma played a stellar knock of 76 runs. Shreyas Iyer contributed with a crucial 48, while KL Rahul remained unbeaten on 34, guiding India to a historic victory.

Once the presentation ceremony concluded, Gambhir took part in a lighthearted interaction with Star Sports. During the chat, Sidhu requested him to showcase some dance moves, to which Gambhir said (via Star Sports' X handle):

“"Main jaa raha hoon (I am going).”

However, the trio, including Aakash Chopra, danced to celebrate India's historic victory. This was the third time that India won the trophy, the most by any team in the tournament's history.
