King Kohli Reigns Supreme: India Outshines Pakistan in Champions Trophy Thriller

Virat Kohli's century masterclass guided India to a comprehensive six-wicket win against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. The chase-master's unbeaten 97-ball 100, his 51st ODI century, took India to 244-4, comfortably past Pakistan's 241 all out. Kohli's knock, which featured his 14,000 ODI runs, was complemented by Shreyas Iyer's gritty 56. India's bowlers, especially Kuldeep Yadav (3-40) and Hardik Pandya (2-31), contained Pakistan's batting. This win, which comes at a pivotal juncture, puts India on the threshold of semi-final qualification, and Pakistan's campaign hangs in the balance.
