Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has congratulated Team India on their Champions Trophy 2025 victory. Yuvraj took to X and tagged India’s 10 players who featured in the final of the ICC tournament held in Dubai on March 9. However, the 43-year-old posted the congratulatory text and left out Virat Kohli, who contributed to India’s sensational triumph with 281 runs in five matches. Kohli struggled to be among the runs in the final game but showcased his batting mettle in the high-octane games against Pakistan and Australia in Dubai.
Yuvraj showered praises on Rohit Sharma’s captaincy through his X post. “What a game and what a final! The Champions Trophy comes home. Outstanding captaincy by hitman @IamRo45 who led from the front all thru the tournament - he is blessed with the Midas touch when it comes to ICC white ball tournaments! Successful games for @ShreyasIyer15 @ShubmanGill @klrahul @hardikpandya7 who stepped up when needed and showed nerves of steel under pressure. @imjadeja @imkuldeep18 @akshar2026 #VarunChakaravarthy spun magic all thru the tournament and @MdShami11 was relentless with the ball! Tough luck @BLACKCAPS you had us on the edge till the very end. But this was our tournament!”, penned Yuvraj on X.
I dont disturb Kohli much: Yuvraj Sin
Back in 2023, Yuvraj appeared on the ‘TRS (The Ranveer Show)Clips on YouTube and said he doesn’t disturb Virat Kohli in the answer to the question of the host Ranveer Allahabadia whether the 2007 T20 World Cup champion is in touch with Kohli. "Not really. He is busy, I don't disturb him much," said Yuvraj in November 2023.
Yuvraj and Virat were part of India’s 2011 World Cup-winning squad. In India’s notable 14-year-old win, Yuvraj got the player of the tournament award for his all-round performance. Former India batter also played under Virat Kohli’s captaincy in the Champions Trophy 2017 when the Men in Blue ended their tournament as runners-up.
