Shreyas Iyer channels his inner Virat Kohli after Champions Trophy win, delights fans with dance moves reminiscent of 2013 celebrations

Shreyas Iyer was absolutely thrilled after India's stunning victory in the Champions Trophy final on Sunday. He showcased some sensational dance moves while celebrating with the trophy in hand. Iyer emerged as a key player in India's title-winning campaign, amassing an impressive 243 runs - the second-highest in the tournament. He contributed two vital half-centuries and played a crucial knock of 48 runs in the final match, steadying the Indian innings after the early dismissals of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.

After the win, Iyer danced in front of the Champions board as the photographers were ready to capture the moment for the ages. Iyer's dance reminded many of Virat Kohli's epic 'Gangnam Style' moves from the 2013 Champions Trophy title celebration. The former Indian skipper was one of the young members of the side back then, while during the 2025 triumph, he already achieved the 'legend' tag.

It was the first time when Iyer was part of India's ICC-title-winning side as he was short of words after clinching the Champions Trophy.

"Feeling ecstatic to be honest, it’s ineffable, hard to say it in words to be honest. My first ICC trophy, I’m quite overwhelmed looking at each and everyone in the dressing room. The way we have turned up towards this tournament and the way we have progressed, it’s been great," Iyer told broadcasters.

‘I love to go under pressure’: Shreyas Iyer

Chasing the target, Rohit Sharma led from the front with 76 runs off 83 balls, Iyer's 48, and Rahul’s unbeaten 34 helped India cross the finish line on 254-6 in 49 overs to win the Champions Trophy for the third time.

The 30-year-old displayed great maturity throughout the tournament and rescued India from tough spots. India went through the entire tournament unbeaten after wins against Bangladesh, Pakistan and New Zealand in the group phase, and then Australia in the semifinal.

"To be honest, I love to go under pressure, whenever there's a challenge, I feel like I thrive under pressure and I love this moment. It's just that I have been getting amazing starts in the tournament and not able to get a big one, but at the end of the day, if I'm able to contribute towards team's victory, that is immensely satisfying and I'm truly happy," he added.
