The Indian cricket team, led by Rohit Sharma, won their third Champions Trophy with an exciting four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai. This win made India the most successful team in the tournament’s history.
As the Indian players walked up to the podium to receive their trophy and the iconic ‘white jacket,’ Gavaskar, who was part of the official English commentary team, couldn’t hold back his joy. The 75-year-old let his inner Indian cricket fan take over and danced with all his heart to celebrate India’s win in his own unique style at the Dubai International Stadium.
The former Indian captain’s impromptu dance quickly went viral on social media, with fans absolutely loving his energy and enthusiasm. Star Sports presenter Mayanti Langer was so surprised by the moment that she moved aside with a smile to give viewers a better view of the legend’s celebration.
