'A Day I Will Never...': Hardik Pandya Reminisces India's T20 World Cup Win
Last Updated: Hardik Pandya celebrates the first anniversary of India's T20 World Cup win against South Africa with a heartfelt message. Star India all-rounder Hardik Pandya on Sunday, June 29, posted a heartfelt message on his social media handles, reminiscing and celebrating the first anniversary of India's T20 World Cup win in Barbados against South Africa, in which he played a major part. Pandya was in then-skipper Rohit Sharma's arms as they got to share a national win after years of success with the Mumbai Indians, but just heartbreak in the national jersey. Needing to defend 16 runs off the last over, Pandya kept his calm and held on to his nerves to take India to a big win. 'A day I'll never forget. A day we'll never forget. For all of us, India 🇮🇳❤️," Pandya tweeted on Sunday morning. Watch the video here: A day I'll never forget. A day we'll never forget. For all of us, India 🇮🇳❤️ — hardik pandya (@hardikpandya7) June 29, 2025 'I always manifested myself bowling the last over or hitting the last runs of the World Cup-winning play. The six-seven months I had before that, really proud of how I was able to stand up," Pandya was seen saying in the video. Rohit also posted a lovely message on Instagram on India's triumph. With the reactions to memories and crucial moments from that historic game against South Africa coming through thick and fast for a date that holds so much meaning for multiple of these cricketers, Rohit posted a sentimental video on his Instagram account. 'This trophy, of course, means a lot for us, but it's for the entire nation," Rohit was seen saying in the video. 'A day etched in our memory forever," the opening visual said. Rohit, ace India batter Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja retired from T20Is after the win. Suryakumar Yadav is all set to lead India in the T20 World Cup that will be played next year at home and will be co-hosted by Sri Lanka. First Published: June 29, 2025, 14:16 IST

Rohit Sharma, Hardik Pandya can't control emotions on T20 World Cup's anniversary: ‘Day we'll never forget'
A year on from when India ended their long, painful ICC tournament drought with a famous come-from-behind victory at Barbados to seal the 2024 T20 World Cup, some key players from that unit are revisiting the moment with all the emotion from exactly 12 months ago still raw and coming through. Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya were key architects of India's T20 World Cup victory in 2024.(PTI) With the reactions to memories and key moments from that historic match against South Africa coming through thick and fast for a date that holds so much meaning for several of these players, captain Rohit Sharma posted a sentimental and moving video on his Instagram account. The video is a montage of images of Rohit prone on the floor after the decisive ball was bowled, but also with him lifting the trophy alongside his family, with long-time teammate Virat Kohli, holding Pandya in his arms as they finally got to share a national triumph after years of success with Mumbai Indians but only heartbreak in the national jersey. 'This trophy, of course it means a lot for us, but it's for the entire nation,' says Rohit in a voice-over taken from India's open bus parade last year. Rohit's video acted as a homage to all his teammates present on this journey with him, showcasing the likes of Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, and Jasprit Bumrah, as well as clips of the Indian captain dancing alongside Kohli. 'A day etched in our memory forever,' read a title card. Meanwhile, Hardik also shared a video of his own, captioning it along very similar lines to the sentiment shared by his erstwhile captain: 'A day I'll never forget. A day we'll never forget. For all of us, India.' Hardik, who bowled that monumental final over and played such a key role throughout the tournament, had a similar montage, full of emotion and heartwarming moments, hitting the floor after the win was sealed and embracing coach Rahul Dravid while his eyes were full of tears after finally achieving that elusive tournament victory. Hardik Pandya: 'Finally I did it for my country' 'I always manifested me bowling the last over or hitting the last runs of the World Cup winning play,' says Hardik in a voice-over of his own — a dream he certainly achieved. 'The six-seven months I had before that, really proud of how I was able to stand up. I was like yeah, finally I did it for my country.' The T20 World Cup win healed a lot of aching hearts after the heartbreak India had suffered time and again in the recent past, and as far as the country will be hoping, will have opened the floodgates for a streak of extended success — the Champions Trophy victory following on its heels just eight months later a sign of things to come.

Fact Check: Virat Kohli Caught Smoking? Viral Image Sparks Debate on Social Media - Here's The Truth Behind The Picture
Amidst a quiet phase following his retirement from Test cricket and India's T20 World Cup 2024 win, Virat Kohli has unexpectedly found himself trending again — this time for all the wrong reasons. A photo has gone viral on social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter), claiming that the legendary Indian cricketer was seen smoking a cigarette. The image quickly spread across the internet, triggering debate and confusion among fans. With Kohli not making any public appearances since Royal Challengers Bengaluru's historic IPL 2025 triumph, the viral photo added fuel to fan speculation. Do u think he is really smoking ? @grok Hiding in X (@DHarsHaDr) June 29, 2025 blud started smoking, looks like he wasn't able to cope with the loses of 11 lives lost in chinnaswamy stampede ex. capt (@thephukdi) June 28, 2025 Is this Virat Kohli? Is he smoking??? — Sai (@TheDiaryofSai) June 28, 2025 Fact Check Is It Virat Or Not? Contrary to online claims, the man in the image is not Virat Kohli. The viral picture is not even new. It originally surfaced in 2023 and again in March 2024, causing similar confusion back then. Upon investigation, it was confirmed that the individual in the image is Pawan Kumar, a known lookalike of Virat Kohli. The photo was taken at the One8 Commune restaurant in Bengaluru, which is owned by Kohli himself. Pawan Kumar was seen smoking hookah, leading to the mistaken identity. This is not the first time Kumar's resemblance to Kohli has misled fans, but the confusion was cleared by fact-checkers and fan pages shortly after the image first went viral over a year ago. Virat Kohli: A Disciplined Athelete Virat Kohli is well-known for his disciplined lifestyle. He has consistently maintained a strict fitness regime and publicly spoken against smoking and drinking. Kohli transformed his physique over the years and credited his clean lifestyle for helping him extend his playing career at the highest level. His commitment to fitness and wellness has also inspired many young athletes to follow suit. In interviews, he has emphasized how dietary discipline and workout consistency were pivotal in his success. Post-IPL Silence and Fan Curiosity After leading RCB to their first-ever IPL title in 2025, Kohli has kept a low profile. His silence became even more prominent after the tragic Bengaluru victory parade stampede, which claimed 11 lives. Since then, Kohli hasn't made any public statements or appearances. This low visibility, coupled with his Test and T20I retirements, has left fans eagerly awaiting his next move particularly in the ODI format, which is now his sole focus in international cricket.
