Champions Trophy 2025: Netizen hilariously points out ‘Indian’ trait in Rachin Ravindra

Team India lifted their third ICC title in the coveted "White Blazer" after trumping New Zealand in what turned out to be a final which went down to the wire. Notably, both teams clashed on Sunday, March 9, in Dubai, in a bid to end their long wait for winning the Champions Trophy. While the Kiwis won the eight-team tournament back in 2000, India last won 12 years ago.

However, the Men in Blue remained unbeatable as they claimed a four-wicket win against a spirited BlackCaps side. But an incident related to the runner-ups of the tournament is now going viral on the internet. Notably, a video of the team going viral where they were receiving the acknowledgement gift after ending up on the losing side. A user posted a video with a hilarious observation of how much an "Indian" Rachin Ravindra was at heart.

In the given video, while the rest of the players were seemingly not interested in checking what gift the shiny box carried, the star player of Indian origin ended up checking the gift box. Gazing at this, the user declared it as how usually Indian people check whether the box is empty or what possible gift was hidden inside out of curiosity and hence attributed it as an Indian trait. As a result, this cheeky observation of the fan left the netizens in splits.
