The World Championship of Legends 2025 concluded with more than just a title win. As fans celebrated South Africa Champions’ tournament victory under the leadership of AB de Villiers, the real show-stopper came during the post-match ceremony — a live proposal.
Harshit Tomar, the league’s owner, shocked the stadium and millions of viewers when he proposed to Karishma Kotak, the host and presenter of the series, during a live broadcast.
The proposal occurred moments after the tournament’s final match on Saturday. Kotak, unaware of what was to come, was interviewing Tomar on the pitch, asking him about the tournament’s success.
Tomar, with a smile, responded, “Now that it’s over, I’ll probably propose to you.”
Caught entirely off guard, Karishma’s spontaneous reaction — a surprised and breathless “Oh my God” — was captured on live television. The heartwarming moment quickly spread across social media, going viral on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and cricket fan pages worldwide.
The South Africa Champions may have lifted the trophy, but it was Tomar’s heartfelt gesture that truly closed the curtain on the event with style.
Clips from the proposal have been viewed millions of times, sparking fan reactions ranging from admiration to playful surprise. Many have described it as the “most romantic end to a sporting event” they’ve ever witnessed.
The Legends League, which featured cricket veterans from around the globe, offered nostalgia, skill, and competition — but this unexpected off-field proposal gave it a poetic and very human finale.
