Hollywood actor Kumail Nanjiani didn’t hold back while reacting to a tense cricket moment from this year’s Asia Cup when the Indian cricket team decided to not shake hands with Pakistani players. He called it “shameful” moment, lamenting how animosity overshadowed the true spirit of the game. Back in September, players of the Indian team did not engage in the customary post-match handshake with Pakistan players at the end of the Group A match of Asia Cup 2025.

India skipper Rohit Sharma on Monday said that they are going to approach the semifinal match against Australia just like they did in the last three matches in the Champions Trophy, dismissing that there’s any added pressure. India have a pretty dismal record against the Australians when it comes to ICC knockout encounters with the Men in Blue last defeating the Aussies in the 2011 World Cup quarterfinals. “Look, they are a great opposition to play against. All we had to do is what we have been thinking about the last three games and we have to approach that game in a similar fashion. We understand the opposition and how they play and stuff like that,” Rohit said in the pre-match press conference. “We will expect some nervy times as well in the middle. But that is how the game is being played these days. And you are talking about the semifinal. Obviously, the pressure will be on both teams to win that game,” he added.

Champions Trophy, IND vs PAK: Nights made for Virat Kohli, made by Kohli | Cricket News

These are nights made for Virat Kohli. The gaze of the cricketing world fixed on Dubai, the most feverish cricketing rivalry, between India and Pakistan, playing out in front of packed stands, the live streams buffering to manage the viewership load, a million hands folded in prayer, as hearts beating in wild anxiety, the myth and legend of Kohli comes alive and branches out into an altogether different world. And on nights like these, Kohli leaves his stamp on mind and memories, blurring allegiances and differences. The modern-day batting great, arguably the greatest in this 50-over format, scripted his 51st hundred and completed 14,000 runs in ODIs. But numbers are only embellishments in celebrating a glorious hundred, filled with strokes that matched the grandness of the night. Fittingly, he completed his century off the last ball of the game, gliding down the track and clubbing Khushdil Shah over extra cover for a four in what ended up as the last ball of the game, with India winning by six wickets and progressing to the knockouts …
