Indian golf star Lahiri glued to CT matches at Hong Kong event
Gulf Today
|March 06, 2025
Golf star and cricket fan Anirban Lahiri said on Wednesday he has been glued to India's Champions Trophy campaign and will be rushing to watch the final when it begins just minutes after the end of LIV Hong Kong.
-
India will play either New Zealand or South Africa in Dubai on Sunday following victory over Australia -- a semi-final that ended in the early hours Wednesday in Hong Kong, where Lahiri is this week for the third leg of the LIV season.
"I've been watching every game," Lahiri, who like most Indians is a big cricket fan, said.
"I watched it last night. I streamed it--my kids woke up after the match finished," he laughed.
"We've got a Kiwi and English physioso I've had a really good go at him the last IO days or so."
Former Presidents Cup star Lahiri lives in Dubai, where India have played all their matches, and has been an avid spectator throughout the eight-team tournament.
"I went for the India-Pakistan match IO days ago, which is like a bucket-list thing to do," Lahiri said.
