The India vs. Pakistan rivalry once again takes center stage in Dubai on Sunday (February 23) as the arch-rivals face off in a crucial Group encounter of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Actress Indraxi Kanjilal, who is currently seen as Prathana in the popular show Pushpa Impossible, shares her excitement for the big match. She says, “I remember that while growing up, I always saw my father getting tense whenever there was a match between India and Pakistan. I don’t know much about cricket, but I can feel the tension. I was shooting on match day, but my focus was on the match. I was obviously rooting for Team India, and I knew India would win.”
She also adds, “India might have had a slight edge considering their recent form and a great team. However, Pakistan had the ability to cause an upset. But Virat Kohli’s confident batting helped India demolish Pakistan in a one-sided affair. Apart from leading India to a big win and taking them closer to a spot in the semifinal, Kohli also broke multiple batting records on Sunday. He became the first batsman to score a century against Pakistan in both the Champions Trophy and the ODI World Cup. Undoubtedly, Kohli, who is the greatest ODI batter of all time, would like to maintain his good form in the upcoming matches and help Team India become Champions Trophy winners for a record-extending third time.”
