In his video, Earth’s rotation becomes evident while the Milky Way appears motionless in the background. Reflecting on the project, Angchuk remarked, “The stars remain still, but Earth never stops spinning,” underscoring the technical challenges he faced while bringing his vision to life.

Here’s a look at five of the most thrilling encounters in Champions Trophy history. 1. India vs South Africa (Semi-final, 2002) While Virender Sehwag was known for his explosive batting, it was his off-spin that turned the game in this semi-final against South Africa. India, batting first, posted 261/9, thanks to Sehwag’s 59 and Yuvraj Singh’s 62. In response, South Africa looked set for victory as Herschelle Gibbs (116) and Jacques Kallis (97) built a strong foundation. However, Gibbs' retirement due to injury triggered a collapse. Sehwag’s crucial wickets, including those of Kallis, Mark Boucher, and Lance Klusener, swung the game in India’s favor.
