New Delhi: The final match of the Champions Trophy between India and New Zealand took place in Dubai. India clinched the title with a four-wicket victory, securing their third Champions Trophy win. After the triumph, Indian cricketer Shreyas Iyer was seen celebrating in his signature style by dancing. His dance moves reminded fans of Virat Kohli’s celebration after India’s 2013 Champions Trophy victory.

Every cricketer has a unique way of celebrating after winning a major tournament. While some players celebrate by pouring champagne or soft drinks on each other, others take a victory lap with the national flag, expressing gratitude to the fans. Meanwhile, some prefer to dance to loud music to mark the moment.

Kohli and Iyer’s Dance Video Goes Viral

According to The Times of India, when India won the Champions Trophy under MS Dhoni’s captaincy in 2013, Virat Kohli showcased his dance moves in front of the team. He performed the famous Gangnam Style dance along with a few push-ups. A similar scene unfolded on Sunday after India’s latest Champions Trophy triumph, as Shreyas Iyer entertained his teammates with a dance performance.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) shared a video on their official Instagram handle, comparing Kohli’s 2013 dance with Iyer’s 2025 celebration. In the caption, ICC wrote, “Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer surely know how to groove!” This video has quickly gone viral on social media, gaining widespread attention from cricket fans worldwide.
