After the final, WCL owner Harshit Tomar was being interviewed by presenter Karishma Kotak. As the conversation was ongoing, Kotak asked Tomar how he planned to celebrate the successful conclusion of the tournament. Without hesitation, Tomar dropped a bombshell on live television.

The second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) ended on Saturday (Aug 2) with South Africa thrashing Pakistan by nine wickets in the summit clash at the Edgbaston stadium in Birmingham. Skipper AB de Villiers led the charge for his team, smashing an unbeaten 120 off 60 balls with an astonishing strike rate of 200 to take South Africa home with 19 balls to spare. This was the second instance where Pakistan lost the final of the WCL, having previously lost to India in 2024. While South Africa celebrated a dominant win, it was an unexpected moment off the field that stole the spotlight: an interview that quickly went viral. After the final, WCL owner Harshit Tomar was being interviewed by presenter Karishma Kotak. As the conversation was ongoing, Kotak asked Tomar how he planned to celebrate the successful conclusion of the tournament.

From Rohit Sharma to Virat Kohli, 5 Indian batters with most runs in Asia Cup (ODIs + T20Is)

<p>When it comes to passion and commitment for cricket, one name stands above the rest, and that is none other than Virat Kohli. The 36-year-old's journey in cricket is similar to that of a superhero, including the day he came out to bat just hours after performing his father’s (Prem Kohli) last rites. Virat is a fierce competitor who transformed the Indian Test team, led them to a historic series win in Australia, and held the ICC Test mace for three consecutive years. He also won the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Decade Award and the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, along with prestigious honours from the Indian government, including the Arjuna Award, Padma Shri and Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Kohli is not only known for his leadership but also for his hunger to score runs.

Kohli made it look easy, scoring an unbeaten 133 off 86 balls. Kohli smashed former Sri Lanka pacer Lasith Malinga, taking India home in 36 overs.</p><h2>2. <strong>183 vs Pakistan, Mirpur, 2012</strong></h2><p>India vs. Pakistan is always a high-octane clash, and players push their limits to win this encounter.

Virat has won the ICC Men's ODI Cricketer of the Decade Award and the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy, along with prestigious honours from the Indian government, including the Arjuna Award, Padma Shri, and Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award.
