Champions Trophy 2025: Virat Kohli’s heartwarming comment for Kane Williamson

In the Champions Trophy 2025, where legend Virat Kohli tasted victory, the captain of the New Zealand team, Kane Williamson, once again looked at defeat. Kane has been a part of many heartbreaking defeats in ICC tournaments, and the list only gets longer with this new loss.

At the end of the match, the official broadcaster asked Virat Kohli to share a few words about Kane Williamson, with whom he shares a close friendship. Sympathising with Williamson, Kohli said he was sad to see Kane on the losing side and that there was only love between them.

“It hurts to see my very good friend (Kane Williamson) on the losing side, but I have also been on the losing side a few times when he was on the winning side. So there is only love between us. “

It was Williamson’s fourth loss in an ICC tournament final in white-ball cricket. He has also lost in the 2015 World Cup, 2019 World Cup, 2021 T20 World Cup, and now the 2025 Champions Trophy.

Virat Kohli later lauded New Zealand’s consistent performances in ICC tournaments and said he has always been impressed with their abilities, especially with so few players. Kohli said the New Zealand team fully highlights its talent due to its unwavering belief in its abilities.

“We have always been impressed with their abilities and what they can do with so few players and fully expose their talent. They have probably been the most stable team in big tournaments over the last few years. And the reason for this is their unwavering faith in their abilities and their talent. So, a big thank you to them. “

New Zealand has been one of the most improved teams in ICC tournaments, reaching the knockout stages every time. They give their best in such tournaments and somehow pull off the impossible.

They understand the pitch and conditions better than other teams and plan their strategy accordingly. This skill is not just limited to planning; New Zealand players often execute their plans well on the field, a major reason for their supreme consistency over the years.
