Virat Kohli didn't have the best of knocks in the Champions Trophy 2025 Final as the star Indian batter went out for just 1 against New Zealand on Sunday, 9th March at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai.
He was dismissed LBW to Michael Bracewell during the 20th over of the run-chase of 252. Bracewell bowled a well-tossed-up delivery that drifted into the right-hander. Kohli attempted to work it towards the leg side but closed the face of the bat too early and missed the ball completely.

The impact was in front of middle and leg, prompting the umpire to raise his finger. Kohli had a brief discussion with his captain before opting for a review. However, UltraEdge confirmed there was no inside edge, and ball-tracking showed three reds-indicating that the ball would hit the stumps. As a result, Kohli had to walk back, suffering a rare failure in a run chase, giving New Zealand a crucial breakthrough in the match at that time.
But apart from this edition, what was his score during the 2013 and 2017 finals of the Champions Trophy?
In the 2013 Final, Kohli scored a crucial 43 runs against England to help India set a target of 129 runs. While in the 2017 edition against Pakistan, he just managed to score just 5 runs.
Overall, King Kohli has played in 10 ODI finals, scoring a total of 209 runs at an average of 23.22 and a strike rate of 79.46. He has registered just one half-century in these matches, which came in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 final.
