The interaction occurred while the players were traveling from Mumbai to Colombo. During the journey, a fan told Iyer, "Sir, abhi Champions Trophy jeetna hai bas Champions Trophy" (Sir, we just need to win the Champions Trophy now). Iyer and Sharma shared a chuckle in response.

The ICC Champions Trophy was last held in 2017, with Pakistan clinching their first title by defeating India by 180 runs in the final. The tournament’s next edition will be played in early 2025.
The Men in Blue recently experienced a 0-2 loss to Sri Lanka in a three-match ODI series. This series marked their second-to-last ODI contest before the Champions Trophy. Following the Sri Lanka series, Sharma will shift focus to Test cricket, with India set to face Bangladesh in a two-match Test series next month. The team will then host New Zealand for a three-match Test series in October before concluding the year with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia.
