"Ye bol rahe hain agle match mein 5 spinners khilao"- Top 10 funny memes after India's comfortable win vs New Zealand in Champions Trophy 2025

Team India beat New Zealand by 44 runs in the 12th match of the 2025 Champions Trophy on Sunday (March 2) at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. As a result, Rohit Sharma and company sealed the pole position in the Group A points table, while the Kiwis occupied the second spot.

After being asked to bat first, the Men in Blue notched up a respectable total of 249/9 in 50 overs on the back of contributions from Shreyas Iyer (79), Axar Patel (42), and Hardik Pandya (45). Kiwi pacer Matt Henry ended up with a five-wicket haul in his eight-over spell after conceding 42 runs.

In reply, Kane Williamson tried to anchor the chase with a sensible knock of 81 (120) but failed to finish the job. He did not receive much support from other New Zealand batters. Playing his first match in the Champions Trophy, Varun Chakravarthy made an instant impression with a five-wicket haul, which earned him the Player of the Match award.

Fans enjoyed the contest between India and New Zealand on Sunday and reacted by sharing memes on X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram. One of the memes read:
