India is set to take on New Zealand in the 2025 Champions Trophy final in Dubai on Sunday, and Indian fans couldn't be more excited. As they eagerly await the 2:30 PM (IST) start, fans have been flooding X (formerly Twitter) with hilarious memes.
The match brings back nostalgic memories of India's 2013 Champions Trophy triumph, especially Virat Kohli's iconic Gangnam Style dance at the presentation ceremony. That epic moment has become an unforgettable classic, etched in the hearts of cricket and music enthusiasts alike.
The 2013 Champions Trophy final is a priceless memory for Indian cricket fans. India's thrilling 5-run victory over England at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham sparked ecstatic celebrations.
Back then, amidst the cheers and champagne showers, Virat Kohli, just like fans, couldn't contain his excitement. At the presentation ceremony, the ace Indian cricketer, broke into an energetic dance, performing the hook step of South Korean singer PSY's song Gangnam Style. Kohli's energetic moves, under the bright stadium lights, left everyone stunned, including his teammates, support staff, and the packed crowd, in awe.
Ahead of the high-voltage match between India and New Zealand, fans are revisiting the Indian batsman's moves, with some urging him to recreate his viral dance if India lifts the cup today.
I'm a simple man, all I want is India to win the Champions trophy and Virat Kohli doing the Gangnam style dance wearing the white coat.

Virat did the Gangam style dance when we won the 2013 CT. So will he recreate Kendrick's 'They not like us' steps today?? pic.twitter.com/ce3fSVtgRK

India and New Zealand are set to clash in the ICC Champions Trophy final today, with India seeking their third Champions Trophy title and New Zealand aiming for their second. This encounter marks the third time these two teams will meet in an ICC final, with New Zealand claiming victory in their previous meeting in the 2000 Champions Trophy final.
Men in Blue, unbeaten so far, have cleverly utilized Dubai's conditions with their spin-heavy lineup. New Zealand, meanwhile, has its own spinners to challenge India, led by Mitchell Santner.
India won their previous encounter in the tournament, thanks to Varun Chakravarthy's impressive 5-wicket haul. However, the Men in Blue won't underestimate the Kiwis, as their head-to-head records are evenly poised, with a 1-1 tie in the Champions Trophy and a 5-5 deadlock in World Cups.
