The human mind is not innately trained to handle pressure for most individuals. This is the root cause of numerous slip-ups that one gets to witness during a high-stakes sporting encounter, as vividly spotted during the 2025 Champions Trophy final between India and New Zealand on Sunday.

Opting to bat first in a crucial assignment, New Zealand piled up 251 runs on the back of a strong start and Michael Bracewell’s fifty. In response, India got off to a fluent start, courtesy of Rohit Sharma’s 83-ball 76. Just in time, Glenn Phillips’ outstanding catch to remove Shubman Gill made way for a couple of wickets in the form of Virat Kohli and Rohit. With the pressure piling on the Indian batters, a hara-kiri moment on either side was the centre of attention. 

On the second ball of the 29th over, Glenn Phillips bowled a fuller one outside the stumps that Shreyas drove with soft hands towards backward point. Will O’Rourke there, failed to anticipate the turn after the second bounce while collecting the ball as it went past him with Will Young backing up. As a result, the Indian batters were found in a running between the wicket mix-up before Young twisted his ankle in the field. With all the events happening on the particular delivery, tensioned peaked in the grand finale as the Twitterverse felt.
