Indian sports journalist Vikrant Gupta, who is currently the Managing Editor at Aaj Tak, known for his in-depth cricket analysis and no-nonsense takes, has touched down in Pakistan for the Champions Trophy 2025. And while the Indian cricket team is playing its matches in Dubai, it seems like Vikrant himself has become the main event in Pakistan!
Videos from Pakistan show absolute madness as fans mob Vikrant Gupta on the streets, hug him like a long-lost brother, and even create a stampede-like situation just to get a selfie. It’s almost as if Virat Kohli himself had landed! From sports journalist to unexpected superstar, Vikrant is receiving the kind of fanfare usually reserved for cricketers or Bollywood celebrities.
