Virat Kohli does a Suryakumar Yadav after record Champions Trophy century vs Pakistan, but who was celebration aimed at?
Hindustan TimesVirat Kohli may have sparked concerns about his form after his knock against Bangladesh on Wednesday in India's Champions Trophy opener, but the former captain once again put the talks to bed when he smashed a record century against Pakistan on Sunday in Dubai. India's Virat Kohli celebrates his century during the ICC Champions Trophy 2025- Group A match against Pakistan, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai on Sunday As Kohli shimmied down the track to guide the Khushdil Shah delivery through cover for a boundary, he removed his helmet, raised his bat, and looked heavenwards. While most reckoned it was the case, a Times of India report indicated Kohli aimed the celebration at his childhood coach, Rajkumar Sharma, who also travelled to Dubai to witness the India star's knock. 'It's about keeping the outside noise away' After collecting the Player of the Match award, Kohli said he shut down "the noise" to compile an unbeaten 100, his sixth in an ICC ODI tournament and first in the Champions Trophy.
