India is dominating in their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Group A match against Pakistan in Dubai, effortlessly chasing a target of 242 runs. India's star batsman Virat Kohli remains at the crease, spearheading the Indian chase with his signature brilliance.
In a bizarre moment during the 21st over, Virat Kohli, attempting a quick single, inadvertently blocked a Pakistani fielder's throw. Recognizing his error, Kohli promptly apologized, showcasing his sportsmanship.
However, Indian legend and commentator Sunil Gavaskar expressed confusion over Virat Kohli's action, suggesting that if Pakistan had appealed, Kohli could have been given out, resulting in his dismissal and a walk back to the pavilion.
