Every member of the Indian national team emphasizes the strong bond and unity they share, a sentiment that was particularly evident in the aftermath of their victory in the ICC Champions Trophy final against New Zealand. This camaraderie extends beyond the players themselves to include those who are closest to the team.

After Ravindra Jadeja hit the winning runs and amidst the jubilant celebrations of the Indian team, a touching moment unfolded when Virat Kohli approached the mother of his longtime teammate Mohammed Shami, demonstrating his respect by touching her feet.

Kohli is depicted in his white winner's jacket, honoring Shami's mother prior to capturing a photograph with Shami and his family. Both seasoned internationals played pivotal roles in India's campaign and have been integral members of the team for numerous years. This moment truly highlighted the deep connection shared between the two teammates.

The cameras also captured Kohli smiling as he engaged in conversation with Shami and his family, celebrating the Indian seam bowler's inaugural ICC trophy victory.

IND cap memorable tournament with trophy win

Numerous players, alongside Shami’s family, had their relatives present at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium as India wrapped up their impressive tournament journey on a victorious note, securing their first ODI trophy since 2013 by defeating New Zealand by four wickets.

In the initial innings, while Shami was somewhat costly, he managed to claim the vital wicket of a well-set Daryl Mitchell before the formidable Kiwi batsman could inflict significant damage. Kohli, on the other hand, had a subdued performance in the final, facing only two balls and scoring a single run before being dismissed LBW by Michael Bracewell.

Nonetheless, both players had noteworthy tournaments, particularly Kohli, who achieved a century against Pakistan and contributed a critical 84 runs against Australia in the semifinals. Shami commenced the tournament with a five-wicket haul against Bangladesh but had to shoulder the responsibility as India’s only frontline seamer following the inclusion of Varun Chakravarthy.

Making his return from a long-term injury and taking on the pace burden in the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, Shami demonstrated his worth as a seasoned leader of the bowling attack for this formidable Indian unit.
