India’s match against Australia was intense and nerve-wracking, keeping fans and players on edge. Every moment was filled with excitement as the teams battled it out in the Champions Trophy semifinal.

As KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya were at the crease, Rohit Sharma looked tense, while Virat Kohli seemed much more relaxed. A video of their lighthearted yet intense conversation in the dressing room has now gone viral. 

Kohli-Rohit's Dressing Room Chat

The clip, shared by the BCCI, captures the moment when Ravindra Jadeja walked in to bat with just six runs needed for India to secure a spot in the final. Despite the small target and plenty of balls left, the tension in the Indian dressing room was undeniable.

In the video, Kohli can be heard telling Rohit, “Maarne to chhakka hi ja raha hai woh” (He’s definitely going to hit a six). And that's exactly what happened—KL Rahul smashed a six to seal the win in style.

Kohli may not have finished the chase himself, but his well-paced 84-run knock played a key role in securing India’s spot in their fifth Champions Trophy final. This victory also made history—it was the highest successful run chase against Australia in an ICC knockout match. KL Rahul sealed the win in style by smashing a six, marking a perfect redemption moment for him.
