Virat Kohli Shines as India Dominates Pakistan in Champions Trophy 2025
What a match, what a performance! India has once again proven why they are a cricketing powerhouse, securing a commanding six-wicket victory over Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. And the star of the show? None other than Virat Kohli, who not only guided his team to victory but also brought up yet another ODI century against Pakistan. It was classic Kohli—calm, composed, and absolutely ruthless.
From the get-go, India looked in control. Chasing a modest target of 243, Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli built a solid foundation, despite Abrar Ahmed’s brilliance in dismissing Gill with a stunning delivery. But once Kohli took charge, it was game over for Pakistan. With partnerships alongside Shreyas Iyer and Hardik Pandya, he methodically dismantled the Pakistani bowling attack. Every shot was a statement, every run a reminder of why he’s one of the greatest ever.

Pakistan, on the other hand, seemed to struggle from the beginning. Their batting effort lacked intent, and 242 was never going to be enough against a strong Indian lineup. The bowlers tried, but they didn’t seem to have a clear plan to break the Kohli-Iyer stand. Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf had their moments, but none could contain the Indian batters for long.
By the time Kohli reached his century with a boundary off Khushdil Shah, the match was already sealed. The Dubai International Stadium turned into a sea of blue, with Indian fans roaring in celebration as their team comfortably chased down the target in just 43 overs.
This win not only secures India’s semi-final spot but also puts serious questions on Pakistan’s campaign. They now face an uphill battle to stay in the tournament. Meanwhile, Kohli’s masterclass has once again cemented his reputation as Pakistan’s ultimate nemesis.
If this was a preview of what’s to come in the tournament, then Indian fans have a lot to look forward to!
