King Kohli Reigns Supreme: India Crushes Pakistan in Champions Trophy Clash

Virat Kohli's serenely composed century that remained unbeaten saw India secure a comprehensive six-wicket victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Chasing 242, India had all but secured victory with an impressive 45 balls to spare, all courtesy of Kohli's century spanning 111 deliveries. The win virtually sealed India's entry into the semi-finals while pushing Pakistan to the brink of elimination. Kohli reached his 14,000 ODI runs during his innings, becoming the fastest to do so. Earlier, Pakistan was limited to 241 runs, with Kuldeep Yadav(3/40) and Hardik Pandya (2/31) taking the pick of the Indian bowling. The victory puts India in first place in Group A on four points.
