India's 2025 ICC Champions Trophy victory was not just about thrilling on-field cricket, it was also about historic celebrations that erupted.
While the Indian team basked in the glory of their hard-fought win over New Zealand, there was an unprompted and ecstatic moment that captured all the attention.
In a rare and heartwarming sight, Shubman Gill’s father, Lakhwinder Singh, broke into an impromptu bhangra dance alongside wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant, with pacer Arshdeep Singh joining in soon after.

Shreyas Iyer shakes leg before posing with the Champions Trophy
Shreyas Iyer, who played a crucial role with a 48 off 62 balls knock in the final of the Champions Trophy, won fans’ hearts with an impromptu dance.
As the fireworks erupted over Dubai, Iyer sprinted towards the middle, but instead of the usual fist-pumping celebration, he brought back a legendary throwback, Virat Kohli’s 2013 Champions Trophy Gangnam Style jig.
Mixing in bhangra footwork with the classic Gangnam move, he left teammates and fans in splits. While the team also urged Virat to shake a leg, he refused to step in and let the youngsters enjoy their moment.
