2. 76 vs Pakistan, 2017

This was the final of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 between India and Pakistan and was played at the Kennington Oval in London. India won the toss and chose to field first. Fakhar Zaman’s 114 and half-centuries by Azhar Ali and Mohammad Hafeez led Pakistan to 338/4 in 50 overs.

In response, Mohammad Amir blew away India’s top order of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Virat Kohli. India tumbled to 72/6 in no time. But then Hardik hammered an astonishing 76 in 43 balls with four fours and six sixes, and at one time, it looked like he would single-handedly take India home. However, he was run out in a misunderstanding with Ravindra Jadeja, and as a result, India was bowled out for 158 and lost the final by 180 runs. Despite the knock coming in a losing cause, it is considered one of the most valiant knocks in the game.
