Delhi: India won their third consecutive win by defeating New Zealand by 44 runs in the last group match of the Champions Trophy (ICC Champions Trophy 2025). A funny incident was seen in this match. Former team captain Virat Kohli touched Akshar Patel’s feet.

When Williamson was playing for 81 runs, Akshar Patel sent him to the pavilion. This made the New Zealand team in trouble.
Virat touched the feet of the letter
As soon as Akshar took this important wicket, the players of the team came to congratulate him. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli tried to touch his feet in a joke, but the Akshar stopped him and both started laughing. This fun moment was captured on camera and now it is becoming very viral on social media.
