People glued themselves to the television screen or their mobile phones to watch the Champions Trophy 2025 final, held and aired from the Dubai stadium. There are thousands of posts how people enjoyed the match night with their family and friends, but a viral post from IIT Bombay has caught the attention of X users and taken the internet by storm.
Cricket fever reached its peak at IIT Bombay as a student found the perfect way to enjoy the India vs New Zealand Champions Trophy final from the comfort of his hostel room. He didn't enter a club or even step outside his flat to witness the live streaming of the cricket tournament on big screen. Instead, he turned his room into a mini-theatre using a projector and his laptop.
A video capturing the setup, shared by X user Aditya, has gone viral, leaving netizens in awe. The caption read, “Projector was the best investment (Hostel, IITB)".

Netizens were impressed with his jugaad to watch the Champions Trophy 2025 final at its best. They couldn’t stop praising the setup, with one user commenting, “This is such a warm setup! Agh, makes me miss Bombay.” Another cricket fan wrote, "So aesthetic, but bhai, 4 yaaro ke sath hi maza aata hai match dekhne ka", noting that he was all alone in the room.
