After India won the Champions Trophy on Sunday, March 9, India coach Gautam Gambhir surprised Navjot Singh Sidhu with a few words of a poem. India won their third Champions Trophy after defeating New Zealand by four wickets in the final. In his tenure as coach of the Indian team, which has recently had many ups and downs in all formats, this was the squad's largest victory. After the victory, everyone was in a festive mood, and Sidhu tried his hardest to make Gambhir smile in an interview following the match. Sidhu was undoubtedly impressed when the Indian coach chose to deliver a few lines from a poem.
