India batter Virat Kohli has been proactive in the field during the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 against New Zealand. The match between the two teams is taking place at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
Virat Kohli has looked extremely animated and intense in the field during the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final. The batter has been enjoying his time on the field and also has been giving his best to keep his bowlers charged up and giving send-offs to New Zealand players.
This was evident when Ravindra Jadeja removed Tom Latham. The all-rounder bowled a full delivery which the batter missed as he went to play the sweep. The ball went under the bat and hit him low on the pad. The batter went for DRS, but it showed three reds, and he had to take the long walk back.
What caught the attention of many was the reaction of Virat Kohli. The India batter came up with the hilarious reaction as he was seen dancing and moving his hands in joy. Also, Kohli was seen gesturing 'ta-ta' (goodbye) to Latham.
