WATCH: Shubman Gill's dropped catch enrages Virat Kohli during CT2025 Final against New Zealand

Team India are struggling with their approach in the fielding efforts against New Zealand in the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025 Final. The Indian fielders have dropped a few crucial catches in the first innings to give a lifeline to the Kiwi batters in this all-important and high-stake summit clash of the tournament.

In the same line of events, India’s vice-captain Shubman Gill also dropped a catch in the deep square leg region to give New Zealand batter Glenn Phillips life. Gill’s dropped attempt also drew a furious reaction from the former skipper and Indian stalwart Virat Kohli. The moment happened on the last ball of the 36th over when Phillips attempted a lofted shot but didn’t get a good rise.

The video of Virat Kohli reacting in anger over Shubman Gill’s dropped catch also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by a user on X (formerly Twitter).

Here’s the video of Shubman Gill’s drop catch:
