This was Kane Williamson’s fourth defeat in the ICC tournament final in the white ball cryket.
While a Virat Kohli legend was victorious in the Champions Trophy 2025, its counterpart in the New Zealand team, Kane Williamson, was again on the loser side. Kane has been part of numerous heartbreak in the CPI tournaments, and the list continues to grow after the last defeat.
After the conclusion of the game, the official station asked Virat Kohli to share some words about Kane Williamson, with whom he shares a great friendship. Empatizing Williamson, Kohli exclaimed that he was sad to see Kiwi’s legend on the losing side and that the two only share love between them.
“It is sad to see a very good friend of mine (Kane Williamson) on the losing side, but I have been on the losing side a couple of times when he has been on the winning side. So only love between us. “
This was Williamson’s fourth defeat in the ICC tournament final in the white ball cryket. It has been in the wrong end of the 2015 World Cup, the 2019 World Cup, the 2021 T20 World Cup and the Champions Trophy 2025.
I’ve always been amazed at what they can do: Kohli virat in New Zealand
Virat Kohli then praised New Zealand for his immense consistency in the CPI tournaments, saying that he is always amazed at his abilities with a limited number of players. Kohli said that Kiwi’s side maximizes his potential due to the immense belief in his skills.
“We are always surprising what they can do with the limited number of players who have had over the years and simply maximize their talent to the absolute maximum. They have probably been the most consistent team in recent years in large tournaments. And the reason for that is their immense belief in their skills and the amount of talent they have. So yes, huge shout to them.”
New Zealand has easily been one of the best units in the CPI events and at least qualifies for the elimination phase every time. They get their best game in such tournaments and somehow find a way to do the unthinkable.

They read the conditions better than many other teams and plan their games accordingly. This ability is not limited to planning; New Zealand players also execute their plans perfectly in the field most of the time, which is a key reason behind their supreme consistency over the years.
