Summary
- AB de Villiers' batting heroics lead team to victory
- Tournament owner proposes to TV anchor live on air
- Proposal catches anchor Karishma Kotak off guard

On August 3rd, 2025, the final of a major cricket tournament took place, with AB de Villiers leading his team to a convincing victory. De Villiers stitched together crucial partnerships of 72 with Hashim Amla and an unbeaten 125 with Jean-Paul Duminy to seal the title.
Earlier, Sharjeel Khan's 76 off 44 balls had lifted the opposing team to a competitive 195/5. However, de Villiers' ruthless assault turned the final into a one-sided affair.
The most unexpected moment of the evening, though, unfolded during the post-match presentation. Tournament owner Harshit Tomar was being interviewed by anchor Karishma Kotak when, at the end of the segment, he unexpectedly proposed to her live on air. Kotak was visibly stunned, letting out an "Oh my god" before regaining her composure.
The abruptness of the proposal set social media alight, with many viewers calling the exchange awkward and uncomfortable. While de Villiers and his team lifted the trophy, the interaction between Tomar and Kotak also saw significant chatter on social media platforms.
