Rohit Sharma And Virat Kohli Celebrate Champions Trophy 2025 Victory With Impromptu 'Dandiya'

After 12 years of heartbreak, the legendary players of Team India signed off the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in style! On March 9, 2025, the Dubai International Stadium erupted in joy with crowds chanting ‘India’ as Ravindra Jadeja smashed the winning boundary, beating New Zealand by four wickets. Amid all the celebrations for this glorious win, what caught everyone’s eyes was a heartwarming dandiya dance by Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

The duo shared an emotional hug before grabbing the match stumps, only to turn them into makeshift dandiya sticks, and break into an impromptu garba-dandiya dance on the field.
