Virat Kohli Lets Loose, Joins In The Fun With Champagne Attack On India Teammate. Internet Goes Wild
Virat Kohli lifted the Champions Trophy 2025 as India beat New Zealand by four wickets in the final in Dubai on Sunday. This takes Kohli's ICC title count to four, having first won the 2011 World Cup, almost 14 years ago. Being 22 years old then, Kohli is no longer a spring chicken. At 36, he is not only a veteran of the squad, but also one of the most highly-regarded. However, while he did not quite recreate his 'Gangnam style' dance moves from India's 2013 Champions Trophy win, he did let himself loose during the celebrations.
In a video that has gone viral on social media, Kohli can be seen going after wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant with a champagne bottle in his hand and a huge smile on his face. Soon after, Kohli sprays champagne all over Pant's neck, which the latter tries to duck. Right after that, Harshit Rana joins the fun and gives Kohli a taste of his own medicine.

After India had won the 2013 Champions Trophy final, Virat Kohli had led the showboating and celebrations. As the team gathered for the team photograph, a jubilant Virat Kohli joined in front, entertaining with the 'Gangnam style' dance move and doing pushups.
However, when asked whether some of those celebrations would return on Sunday night, Kohli denied.
In Kohli's absence, Shreyas Iyer took responsibility for being the showman. The 30-year-old, who finished as India's top run-scorer in Champions Trophy 2025, brought out his own dance moves during the celebration.
Soon after, Kohli broke loose and launched a champagne attack on Pant.
The internet couldn't help but feel elated at the way a 36-year-old Kohli joined into the fun.
