"Hardik Pandya's Knee Was Twisted": Big Claim Emerges After India Reach Champions Trophy 2025 Final
Following India's emphatic win over Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy semifinal, former Indian cricketer Yograj Singh hailed star India batter Virat Kohli's match-winning knock, but said that the shot that led to his dismissal was an "unnecessary" one. Virat's chase masterclass once again grabbed the spotlight as his perfectly-calculated knock of 84 runs guided India to a four-wicket win over Australia, lifting them from 43/2 to a successful run chase of 265 runs, which was proving to be tricky initially. Once again, the 36-year-old made a tough run-chase look like a cakewalk and re-wrote several records in the process. Speaking to ANI after the match, "Virat is a match-winner. But I feel sad because that shot was unnecessary. He should have finished the match. He is like a son to me. He could have done a century and had India lost, it would have been wasted. He changed the game today. I would like to say this to people who criticise Virat, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill, that they should stop, become your child's support so that we keep make progress."
