IND vs PAK HIGHLIGHTS, Champions Trophy 2025: Kohli's 100 helps India thrash Pakistan by 6 wickets

With this win, India have confirmed their semi-final berth in the marquee tournament as well. Kohli completed his 51st ODI century as he scored the winning runs for the team.

Virat Kohli finished things off in style for Team India as Rohit Sharma's men registered a 6-wicket victory against Pakistan in the Match 5 of the Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai International Stadium on February 23. With this win, India have confirmed their semi-final berth in the marquee tournament as well. Kohli completed his 51st ODI century as he scored the winning runs for the team.

The chase started off by a steady 46-run knock by Gill and was carried on by a brilliant 114-run partnership between Kohli and Iyer on the night. Iyer's 67-ball fifty was a brilliant supporting knock for the King who went on complet his hundred within 111 deliveries.

The star Indian batter also completed 14000 runs in ODI cricket, becoming the fastest Indian to reach the feat as well. The fans were treated to a batting masterclass by Kohli who is called the chase master for a reason. Be it the rotation of strike with his effortless running between the wickets, or a well-placed boundary through the covers or towards mid-wicket, only a few batters can come up with such innings at the biggest stage.

Earlier, India's bowlers led by Kuldeep Yadav delivered a commanding performance at the Dubai International as Pakistan were bundled out for 241 runs after opting to bat first.

Babar Azam displayed glimpses of brilliance with some elegant shots earlier, yet he could not convert his promising start into a substantial score.

Following his initial surge, Rizwan and Shakeel chipped in with crucial runs, though the overall run rate remained unsatisfactory during the middle overs. Their dismissals triggered a mini-batting collapse as Indian spinners consistently seized wickets, keeping the scoring rate under tight control.

Kuldeep emerged as the standout bowler with three wickets, while Khushdil’s pivotal contributions towards the end helped Pakistan cross the 240-run threshold. With the pitch proving to be a sluggish surface that challenges batters, all eyes will now be on the Indian batsmen in the forthcoming run chase.
