In a video shared by the official broadcasters of the Champions Trophy 2025, India coach Gautam Gambhir, during a post-match interview with Navjot Singh Sidhu summed up India’s win in Sidhu’s signature style—by reciting a ‘sher’. Gambhir playfully nudged Sidhu to deliver one of his trademark lines, beginning the verse himself while Sidhu completed it.

“Fann kuchalne ka hunar seekhiye janaab… complete the rest,” said Gambhir. Sidhu completed the ‘sher’ saying, “Saanpo ke darr se jungle nahi chhode jaate.”

Sidhu even tried to get Gambhir to join him for a few bhangra steps in the video, but the head coach flatly declined. However, Sidhu and Aakash Chopra eventually got a small move out of him as Gambhir lifted a finger in the air, joining in just enough to accompany Sidhu, who danced to 'Sauda Khara Khara'.
