Social Media Teaches New Zealand Cricket a Lesson After Their Attempt to Troll India Goes Wrong!
Ahead of the Champions Trophy 2025 final, New Zealand's official X account tried to play mind games by posting a video recalling their 2000 ICC Knockout Trophy win over India. However, Indian fans clapped back, reminding the Kiwis of their 2011 World Cup group-stage exit and 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final loss to India, turning the trolling attempt into a major backfire.
In the buildup to the Champions Trophy 2025 final, New Zealand reminded India of past heartbreaks by posting a video recalling their 2000 ICC Knockout Trophy win. The video featured former players Scott Styris, Roger Twose, and Geoff Allott reminiscing about their victory, where Chris Cairns’ unbeaten 102 led New Zealand to their first ICC title, despite Sourav Ganguly’s 117.
India has struggled against New Zealand in major tournaments, including the 2019 World Cup semi-final and the 2021 World Test Championship final. However, Rohit Sharma’s team enters the final in top form after a dominant win over Australia. New Zealand, coming off a semi-final triumph against South Africa, aims to continue their success. The final in Dubai presents India a golden chance to break the Kiwi curse and avenge past losses in ICC events.
