IND vs BAN: [Watch] Harshit Rana & Kohli’s Aggressive Send-Off Stuns Najmul Shanto in Champions Trophy 2025

Harshit Rana’s flying kiss and Virat Kohli’s intense celebration sent Najmul Hossain Shanto back for a duck, igniting high drama in Dubai.

India has completely dominated Bangladesh in the early stages of their Champions Trophy 2025 match in Dubai. They have lost four wickets inside the first nine overs.

Mohammed Shami, making his return to an ICC event after a long injury layoff, has already picked up two wickets. Harshit Rana has struck once, while Axar Patel has also added two scalps to his name.

Harshit Rana’s Big Wicket & Aggressive Celebration

First, Shami set up Soumya Sarkar for a duck, and soon after, Harshit Rana joined the party. The young pacer, trusted ahead of Arshdeep Singh, made an immediate impact by dismissing Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto for a two-ball duck.

Harshit bowled a delivery that swung away from the left-hander, tempting Shanto to go for an unnecessary shot. The ball caught the toe-end of the bat and flew straight to Virat Kohli at covers, who took a sharp catch.

What followed was a fiery celebration. Harshit, known for his aggressive send-offs in the IPL, blew a flying kiss at Shanto as the Indian team erupted in joy. Kohli, too, was pumped up, giving an animated send-off to the Bangladesh skipper.
