A recent video showing a light moment between Indian cricket legends Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma has gone viral on social media. The video, posted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), depicts the two cricketers chatting casually during a critical juncture of the semi-final match against Australia in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
The Viral Video
In the clip, Virat Kohli can be heard saying jestfully, “Maarne to chhakka hi ja raha hai woh” (he is going in to hit a six), as Ravindra Jadeja was poised to take the crease with just six runs left for India to reach the finals. The friendly banter highlights the good friendship between the two cricketers, who have been India’s cornerstones of the batting line-up for years.

The Match Highlights
India won against Australia by four wickets to advance into their third consecutive Champions Trophy final. Virat Kohli contributed greatly in the chase with his 84 runs off 98 balls, supported by Shreyas Iyer and KL Rahul’s substantial efforts. The win guarantees the final would take place in Dubai and not in Lahore owing to security reasons.
