Team India is going to the final of the Champions Trophy 2025 after an exciting four-wicket victory over Australia on Tuesday. Virat Kohli was the star of the match, making a fantastic 84 runs in the chase for 265 runs. He received great support from Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, and KL Rahul.
The real hero of the day was Hardik Pandya. He scored a quick 28 runs when India needed them the most, hitting three huge sixes and one four. His powerful batting changed the game and helped India secure the win. The match became very tense towards the end, and the Indian players were really nervous.
In a fun video shared on Instagram, Hardik was seen chatting with Axar Patel, trying to ease the tension. Hardik said, “I was smiling. I knew I would hit those sixes. I could tell everyone in the dressing room was a bit tense, but I was calm inside.”
Axar joked about the nervousness in the dressing room, saying, “We were thinking about running twos and singles, hoping Hardik and Rahul would keep the game going.” KL Rahul, who scored an important 42 runs without getting out, added that Hardik’s runs helped reduce the pressure on him. He said, “Hardik hit those crucial sixes, and it made my job easier. I’m really happy we won!”
