Star India batter Virat Kohli pulled off a cheeky dance move to celebrate Tom Latham’s dismissal in the 2025 Champions Trophy final in Dubai on Sunday, March 9. New Zealand are batting first as both teams battle for the coveted title.
After Latham’s wicket, Kohli lifted his arms and performed a quick ‘bhangra’ move to mark the moment. The Kiwi wicketkeeper-batter was trapped lbw by Ravindra Jadeja for 14 off 30 balls on the second delivery of the 24th over.

Talking about his batting, Virat Kohli has showcased excellent form in the tournament ahead of the final. He stands as India’s highest run-scorer, amassing 217 runs in four matches at an impressive average of 72.33.
Kohli has registered both a century and a half-century in the competition. He played a match-winning unbeaten hundred under pressure against Pakistan in a successful run chase. Additionally, his crucial 84-run knock in the semifinal against Australia helped India secure a spot in the final.
He also surpassed former opener Shikhar Dhawan to become India’s highest run-scorer in Champions Trophy history and is now on the verge of surpassing Chris Gayle as the tournament’s all-time leading run-getter.
