‘Bhool Gaye!’: Team India’s Trophy ‘Slip-Up’ Goes Viral After 3-0 Whitewash Against England

Byadmin

India completed a dominant 3-0 ODI series sweep over England with a commanding 142-run victory in Ahmedabad on Wednesday, reinforcing their supremacy in white-ball cricket. Shubman Gill led the charge with a breathtaking 112 off 102 balls, guiding India to a massive total of 356/8. In response, England started strong but collapsed to 214 all out in just 34.2 overs, thanks to early breakthroughs from Arshdeep Singh and a clinical bowling performance by the Indian attack.

The victory capped off a successful limited-overs campaign, following India’s 4-1 series win in the T20Is. With the Champions Trophy 2025 set to begin on February 19 in Pakistan and Dubai, Team India looks in red-hot form, sending a strong message to their competitors.

However, while India’s on-field brilliance was the talking point, a hilarious off-field moment stole the spotlight, capturing the attention of cricket fans worldwide.

Trophy ‘Slip-Up’ Goes Viral

After the series-clinching win, Team India gathered for their customary trophy celebration. Rohit Sharma received the winners’ trophy from BCCI Secretary Jay Shah, and the team posed for pictures with the ‘Winners’ placard.

But in a moment of comedy gold, as soon as the photo session ended, the Indian players walked off the podium, leaving the trophy behind!

A now-viral video captures Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and KL Rahul casually strolling away before Rohit suddenly realized their blunder. In a panic moment, he quickly turned around, prompting Rahul to rush back to retrieve the forgotten trophy.

The moment left fans and social media in splits, with cricket enthusiasts joking:

  • “Trophy hi bhool gaye! (They forgot the trophy!)”
  • “India winning trophies so often that they don’t even remember to take them anymore!”
  • “Rohit Sharma, the most ‘chill’ captain ever!”

The incident was a light-hearted end to an otherwise intense series, proving that even in the heat of competition, moments of humor can steal the show.

India’s Dominant ODI Series Performance

Despite the trophy mix-up, there was nothing forgettable about India’s stellar performances throughout the series.

Shubman Gill: The Star of the Series

Shubman Gill emerged as the leading run-scorer, amassing 259 runs in three matches, including:

  • A stunning 112 in the final ODI
  • Two half-centuries in the previous games

His consistency has solidified his place as India’s most in-form batter, and he will be a crucial player in the Champions Trophy 2025.

Rohit Sharma’s Take on the Series Win

Speaking after the victory, Rohit Sharma expressed confidence in his team’s preparations, stating:

“I don’t see anything wrong we did this series. Obviously, there are certain things we are looking at to improve.”

India’s batting depth, lethal bowling attack, and fielding improvements were on full display, making them one of the strongest contenders for the upcoming ICC tournament.

Arshdeep Singh’s Impact

  • Arshdeep set the tone early in the decider, striking crucial blows to cripple England’s chase.
  • His swing, accuracy, and ability to strike in powerplays add a new dimension to India’s pace attack.

With bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Kuldeep Yadav also in the squad, India possesses a well-rounded bowling lineup ahead of the Champions Trophy.

Champions Trophy 2025: India’s Next Big Test
