In Rawalpindi, relentless rain abandoned Pakistan versus Bangladesh match, leaving both winless in the Champions Trophy. Despite shared points, Pakistan and Bangladesh await future matches with a focus on improvements.

Pakistan ends winless Champions Trophy campaign after washout against Bangladesh

Rain in Rawalpindi abandoned Pakistan vs Bangladesh match, leaving both without wins in the Champions Trophy. With shared points, Pakistan looks forward post-criticism, controlling key player injuries, and hopes for future success.

Pakistan's match against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi was abandoned due to rain. Both teams end winless in the tournament, with Pakistan facing criticism for poor performance. Future improvements are anticipated.

Pakistan's winless campaign in the Champions Trophy continued with their match against Bangladesh being called off without a ball being bowled due to incessant rain here on Thursday.&nbsp;
The match was effectively a dead-rubber, with both teams already out of contention after failing to secure a win in their two previous matches. Pakistan, hosting an ICC tournament for the first time in 29 years, had hoped for a strong finish but ended their disastrous campaign without a victory.
Persistent downpour left the ground soaked, with covers in place and puddles forming around the field. With weather not improving, match officials called off the game nearly two hours after the scheduled start time. The gloomy weather prevented even the toss from taking place.
As a result, the two teams shared one point each, though both Pakistan and Bangladesh finished the tournament winless.
This is the second match in Rawalpindi to be called off without a ball being bowled, following the washout between South Africa and Australia earlier this week.
The rain-induced abandonment left the home fans frustrated, as they hoped for play at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Pakistan have faced criticism for their poor showing in the tournament, having suffered defeats to New Zealand (by 60 runs) and India (by six wickets).
"We wanted to do well and perform well in front of our nation. The expectations are very high. We didn't perform well and it is disappointing for us," Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan said.
Reflecting on the road ahead, Rizwan said: "You can learn from your mistakes. We have made mistakes in the last few games. Hopefully, we can learn from these.
"We are next going to New Zealand and, hopefully, we can perform there and the mistakes that we did against New Zealand here in Pakistan, we can learn from that. And we will do better in New Zealand. "
'We put a lot of pressure on ourselves playing against India'
Pakistan's assistant coach, Azhar Mahmood, who hails from the city, attributed his team's poor show in the tournament to injuries to key players, and the fact that the team took too much pressure against India.
"We haven't played well in this tournament. We have played good cricket in this format, but in the tournament it has not gone well because of injuries. Against India, we put a lot of pressure on ourselves," he said.
"We know where we need to improve. It is all about adapting and taking responsibility. The results have also been a surprise for us," he added.
The former Test all-rounder said that the people need to keep faith in the players.
"We have to stick with the talent we identify for it to come good over the months," said Mahmood.
Pakistan had lost two top players -- Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub -- to injuries, affecting their campaign.
"The guy who has been performing from the last few months in Australia, South Africa, Zimbabwe... the team was combined and then suddenly when someone is injured, the team will be disturbed," added Rizwan.
"As a captain, you can look forward to that as well. One side you can say that the team is disturbed, but this is no excuse. Yes, Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub were injured, but we will learn from this," the captain added.
"We are all very disappointed. We are all here for the nation. Pakistan is our priority and the expectation from us is very high. We are upset and we are accepting that we didn't do well. Hopefully, we will do more hard work and comeback," added Rizwan.
Much to reflect for Bangladesh
Bangladesh, who also ended their tournament winless, will return home with much to reflect on after losing to India by six wickets and New Zealand by five wickets.
"I am very disappointed. We really wanted to play this match, but can't do anything about the weather. The way we held the game for long periods was very inspiring for us in the two matches," Bangladesh captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto said.
"We hope we can learn from our mistakes. We will make a proper plan and execute the plan." Talking about their bowling unit, Shanto said: "We have always struggled with our fast bowling unit, but in the last few years a lot of fast bowlers are coming through.
"Some of the fast bowlers back home are doing very well. The likes of Taskin, Rana coming in. Fizz is there. We have a very good bowling attack. I hope they will do the job and do the best for the team."

Pakistan exits Champions Trophy 2025 after defeats to India and New Zealand. Poor squad selection, injuries, and ineffective bowling contributed to their early elimination.

Champions Trophy heartbreak for Pakistan: What went wrong for the Green Brigade? 

Pakistan exits Champions Trophy 2025 after defeats to India and New Zealand. Poor squad selection, injuries, and ineffective bowling contributed to their early elimination.

Pakistan, the defending champions and hosts, were knocked out of the Champions Trophy after defeats to New Zealand and arch-rivals India, marking a disappointing end to their first major international cricket event at home in almost three decades.
Although they have one group match left against Bangladesh, it will be merely formalities as their tournament hopes are over.
But, what were the reasons behind Pakistan&rsquo;s debacle? Let&rsquo;s try and find out.
<h3>Injury Setbacks Before The Mega Event</h3>
The build-up to the Champions Trophy was marred by injuries, including to promising opener Saim Ayub and experienced Fakhar Zaman, which disrupted the team combination and bench strength
<h3>Rusty Pace Attack Fails to Deliver</h3>
Pakistan&rsquo;s much-hyped pace trio of Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf looked off-colour and failed to control the death overs, despite being rested ahead of the tournament to keep them fresh. All in all, their weapon failed to work when it mattered the most.
<h3>Controversial Squad Selection</h3>
Selectors faced criticism for not including a second specialist spinner, relying instead on part-time options Salman Agha and Khushdil Shah, who failed to make an impact.
The decision to promote out-of-form Babar Azam as an opener backfired, especially after Fakhar's injury.
A lot of questions were raised when all-rounders Khushdil Shah and Faheem Ashraf were controversially selected based on performances in Bangladesh&rsquo;s T20 league, despite a prolonged absence from ODI cricket.
<h3>Political Interference In Team Selection?</h3>
Former captain Rashid Latif alleged that the squad selection was influenced by external politics rather than merit, raising questions about the decision-making process.
<h3>Outdated Playing Style and Dot Ball Woes</h3>
Pakistan was accused of playing old-fashioned cricket reminiscent of the 1980s and 1990s, failing to adapt to the modern aggressive style adopted by other teams. Their inability to rotate strike resulted in a high number of dot balls&mdash;152 against India and 162 against New Zealand&mdash;contributing to below-par totals.
<h3>Systemic Overhaul needed</h3>
Legendary all-rounder Shahid Afridi called for a complete overhaul of Pakistan&rsquo;s cricket system, emphasizing the need for a change in mindset and the development of players with an aggressive approach.
The group-stage exit is a bitter pill for Pakistan, who were hoping to make a strong statement on home soil but instead faced criticism for outdated tactics and controversial selections.

India has had a remarkable journey in the ICC Champions Trophy, with two titles in 2002 and 2013. Explore India's performances over the years, including runner-up finishes, early exits, and their status as favorites for the 2025 tournament.

India in ICC Champions Trophy: A look back at their performances over the years

India has had a remarkable journey in the ICC Champions Trophy, with two titles in 2002 and 2013. Explore India's performances over the years, including runner-up finishes, early exits, and their status as favorites for the 2025 tournament.

With the 9th edition of the Champions Trophy all set to roll from February 19, India will aim to add another feather to its cap when they lock horns with Bangladesh in their opener in Dubai on February 20.
Australia and India are the two most successful teams, winning the tournament twice, while South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, West Indies, and Pakistan have won it once each.
India first won the tournament in 2002, where they shared the trophy with Sri Lanka. The second title in the cabinet came in 2013.
Let us take a look at Team India&rsquo;s performance in the Champions Trophy in the past.
<h3>1998: Semi-Final Exit</h3>
The first-ever Champions Trophy, held in Bangladesh, was played in a knockout format. India started strong with a victory over Australia, thanks to a brilliant all-round performance by Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 141 runs and took four wickets.
However, in the semi-finals, India lost to West Indies by six wickets despite good performances from Sourav Ganguly and Robin Singh.
<h3>2000: Runner-Up Finish</h3>
In the second edition, India finished as the runner-up. They edged past Australia in a thrilling 20-run victory in the quarterfinals, and a brilliant knock of unbeaten 141 from Sourav Ganguly against South Africa saw the team reach the final for the first time. However, India lost the final to the Kiwis by 4 wickets.
<h3>2002: Joint Champions</h3>
The 2002 edition was renamed the ICC Champions Trophy, featuring a new format. India topped their pool and reached the final, defeating the mighty South Africa in the last 4.
In the final against Sri Lanka, rain forced the match to be replayed on the reserve day, but it was washed out again. As a result, India and Sri Lanka were declared joint winners.
<h3>2004: Group Stage Exit</h3>
The 2004 tournament, held in England, saw one of the worst performances from the Indian side. India was placed in Group C alongside Pakistan and Kenya. India failed to progress beyond the group stage. West Indies won that edition.
<h3>2006: Early Exit Again</h3>
It was another disastrous season for Team India. In the 2006 edition, India was placed in Group A with Australia, England, and West Indies.
India managed to defeat England but lost to both Australia and the West Indies, finishing third in the group and failing to advance to the semi-finals.
<h3>2009: Disappointing Campaign</h3>
The 2009 Champions Trophy, held in South Africa, featured only eight teams. India was in Group A with Australia, Pakistan, and the West Indies.
A loss to Pakistan and a washed-out game against Australia meant that their victory over the West Indies was not enough to secure a semi-final spot.
<h3>2013: Champions Once Again</h3>
Under MS Dhoni&rsquo;s captaincy, India had a flawless campaign in England. They topped Group B with three wins and defeated Sri Lanka in the semi-final.
In the rain-shortened final against England, India posted 129/7, and the bowlers, led by Ravindra Jadeja and Ishant Sharma, helped secure a thrilling five-run win to claim the title.
<h3>2017: Runner-Up Finish</h3>
Under Virat Kohli&rsquo;s leadership, the team reached the final after topping their group and defeating Bangladesh in the semi-final. However, in the final against Pakistan, India struggled while chasing 338 runs and were bowled out for 158, losing by 180 runs.
<h3>India in Champions Trophy 2025</h3>
Schedule
&bull; India vs Bangladesh - February 20 - Dubai (2:30 PM IST) &bull; India vs Pakistan - February 23 - Dubai (2:30 PM IST) &bull; India vs New Zealand - March 2 - Dubai (2:30 PM IST)
<h3>Overall Record</h3>
Matches played: 29 Matches won: 18 Matches lost: 8 No result: 3
India enters the ICC event as favorites to win the title. However, Rohit Sharma's team faces a big challenge, with star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah missing the tournament.
Without their key match-winner, India will have to work even harder to succeed and lift the trophy.

The series will also feature cricket stalwarts like Sunil Gavaskar and Shoaib Akhtar, each unveiling enticing secrets that have remained hidden until now.
Set to premiere on February 7, just in time for the Champions Trophy face-off on February 23, *The Greatest Rivalry: India vs Pakistan* aims to enthrall viewers, setting the stage for the forthcoming cricketing showdown. The build-up to India and Pakistan's much-anticipated match is in full swing, with their clash scheduled for Sunday, February 23.
India's campaign in the Champions Trophy will see them squaring off against Bangladesh on February 20, followed by a match against New Zealand on March 2. The bustling city of Dubai will likely be the host for all these high-stakes encounters.
Meanwhile, Pakistan, entering the tournament as defending champions, will launch their campaign in Karachi against New Zealand on February 19. Their last league match will see them competing against Bangladesh in Rawalpindi on February 27.
As anticipation builds, cricket lovers await an action-packed February, filled with both on-field excitement and off-field insights, as the sport's fiercest rivalry unfolds across both the cricket ground and the screen.

The ICC announces the 2025 Champions Trophy will be held in Pakistan and Dubai. India’s matches will be played in Dubai due to political reasons. The tournament kicks off on February 19 in Karachi, concluding on March 9.

Champions Trophy 2025: India-Pakistan on February 23 in Dubai

Tournament matches will be held in Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi. Each venue in the country is set to host three group-stage games, with Lahore also staging the second semi-final.

India will play all their matches of the Champions Trophy in Dubai with the marquee clash against arch-rivals Pakistan scheduled on February 23, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Tuesday.
PTI had reported last week that India will play all their matches in Dubai including the semifinal and final if they qualify.

&nbsp;
&nbsp;
As has been the case with ICC events, India and Pakistan have been clubbed in the same group which also has New Zealand and Bangladesh.
Group B comprises South Africa, Australia, Afghanistan and England.
The tournament opener will be played in Karachi on February 19 when hosts Pakistan face New Zealand and the final is scheduled for March 9. The premier 50-over event, last played in 2017, will have 15 matches with at least 10 games scheduled in Pakistan.
Rawalpindi, Lahore, and Karachi will be the three hosting venues in Pakistan with the second semifinal to be staged at the refurbished Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.
"Lahore will also host the final on 9 March, unless India qualify, in which case it will be played in Dubai. Both the semi-finals and the final will have reserve days," said the ICC in a statement.
India will open their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20 before taking on Pakistan three days later. Their final league fixture will be against New Zealand on March 2.
Group B action begins on February 21 when Afghanistan square up against South Africa in Karachi.
A big weekend then kicks off with rivals England and Australia clashing in Lahore on February 22.
The eight sides in the Champions Trophy are the teams that finished in the top eight in the points table at ODI World Cup in India last year.
The ICC has kept reserve days for both the semifinals and the final.
The schedule was announced after a deadlock over the hosting of the tournament ended with the ICC keeping India's games at a neutral venue as desired while having a similar arrangement for Pakistan for ICC events in India till 2027.
The hybrid arrangement will also apply to the 2025 women's ODI World Cup in India and the T20 World Cup in 2026 in India and Sri Lanka before being extended to the 2028 Women's T20 World Cup which Pakistan will host.
India had refused to travel to Pakistan for the event due to security concerns. The Indians have not played in Pakistan since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which 150 people were killed.
The two countries' last bilateral engagement was back in 2012. Travelling to Pakistan also requires Indian government's clearance, which has remained firm on the status quo.
While the BCCI's stance was always clear, the matter got stretched because of the PCB's refusal to allow a "one-sided" arrangement of neutral venues.
PCB, which had sent its team to India for the ODI World Cup last year, had categorically opposed the hybrid model but eventually agreed to it on reciprocal grounds.

India will play next year’s Champions Trophy matches on neutral ground after refusing to visit tournament host and arch-rival Pakistan.

India to play Champions Trophy matches at neutral venue: ICC

India will play next year&rsquo;s Champions Trophy matches on neutral ground after refusing to visit tournament host and arch-rival Pakistan.

The deadlock over the hosting of next year's Champions Trophy finally ended on Thursday when the ICC announced that India will play their matches of the 50-over event at a neutral venue instead of host country Pakistan, which will get a similar arrangement for tournaments to be held in India till 2027.
The agreement will also extend to the 2028 women's T20 World Cup, which will be held in Pakistan. Although no formal announcement has been made, but India's Champions Trophy matches are likely be held in the UAE.
"The ICC Board has approved that all matches between India and Pakistan played at ICC Events during the current rights cycle from 2024 to 2027 (which are to be hosted in India or Pakistan) will be played at a neutral venue proposed by the tournament host," said the ICC in a statement, confirming what PTI reported on December 5.
The arrangement will also cover next year's women's World Cup in India and the T20 World Cup in 2026, to be jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka.
India had refused to travel to Pakistan for the event scheduled in February-March due to security concerns. The Indians have not played in Pakistan since the 2008 Mumbai terror attacks in which 150 people were killed. The two countries' last bilateral engagement was back in 2012.
Travelling to Pakistan also requires Indian government's clearance which has remained firm on the status quo.
"The schedule for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is set to be confirmed soon," the ICC added.
The decision, that came after a series of back-channel talks, was on expected lines after the sport's governing body maintained prolonged silence on the contentious matter during the previous set-up led by chairman Greg Barclay.
His successor Jay Shah took charge on December 1 and all stakeholders, including the Pakistan Cricket Board, the BCCI and the broadcasters, were running out of time to organise the 50-over event that was last played in the UK in 2017.
While BCCI's stance was always clear, the matter got stretched because of PCB's refusal to allow a "one-sided" arrangement of neutral venues. Led by Pakistan interior minister Mohsin Naqvi, the PCB was determined not to lose face in front of the local public.
PCB, which had sent its team to India for the ODI World Cup last year, had categorically opposed the hybrid model but eventually agreed to it on reciprocal grounds.
The PCB had earlier indicated that it wanted a greater share in the annual revenue cycle to accommodate the Indian demand for a hybrid model but there is no word yet on whether that has been discussed or accepted.
The tournament will feature eight teams, divided into two groups. The top two teams from each group will advance to the semifinals.

With the Champions Trophy scheduled for February next year, Cricbuzz has revealed that Lahore could be the venue where India and Pakistan face each other on the international stage! 

India vs Pakistan: Lahore to host next clash between arch-rivals?

With the Champions Trophy scheduled for February next year, Cricbuzz has revealed that Lahore could be the venue where India and Pakistan face each other on the international stage!&nbsp;

The Pakistan Cricket Board has suggested Lahore as India's home base during next year's ICC Champions Trophy, in its bid to ensure the best security arrangements for the neighbours.
A reliable source in the PCB said that this suggestion has been made in the draft schedule of the event sent to the ICC in late April.
"Yes Lahore has been suggested as the home base for the Indian team to reduce their travelling and to provide them with the best security arrangements," the source said.
India last year refused to play the Asia Cup in Pakistan because of security concerns, following which their matches were moved to Sri Lanka.
Pakistan is due to host the major ICC 50-over event tentatively between February 19 to March 9 next year.
The ICC executive board is yet to approve the draft schedule but the PCB has also kept Karachi and Rawalpindi as other venues for Champions Trophy matches.
This is the first time since 1996 that Pakistan will be hosting any major ICC event although it did host the entire Asia Cup in 2008 and also some games of the same event last year.
The BCCI is yet to formally confirm whether it would be sending the national team to Pakistan for the ICC event.
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has indicated that a major overhaul is on the cards in the Pakistan team following their six-run loss to India in the T20 World Cup in New York on Sunday.
He also said that all three stadiums in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi will be upgraded ahead of the Champions Trophy.
The PCB has also said that it would be hosting the Pakistan Super League sometime in April next year because of the Champions Trophy and a tri-series it plans to host before the ICC event with South Africa and New Zealand being the other participating sides.

"You look at the IPL and you look at the T20 format, those who can actually score a 2.5 per ball or above two per ball are the real game changers. There are so many of them" - Navjot Singh Sidhu

"If you're winning against Pakistan then you are zero from hero even if you have not done anything in your previous seven matches" - Navoj Singh Sidhu

Former cricketer Navjot Singh Sidhu said the high-voltage clash is the mother of all battles. The Men in Blue are coming into this match after beating Ireland by 8 wickets. Meanwhile, Babar Azam-led Pakistan conceded a disappointing loss against the US in the super-over in their previous game of the marquee event.
Speaking to ANI, Sidhu said that the most important thing in the India vs Pakistan match is the pressure of expectation. "If you're winning against Pakistan then you are zero from hero even if you have not done anything in your previous seven matches. It is the mother of all battles and the most important thing here is the pressure of expectation," Sidhu said. The former cricketer added that India will have an advantage since the Men in Green have not performed well in their previous matches. He further added India have been dominant and all the players are in form which will give them an advantage.
"India will have an advantage because Pakistan have not performed in their previous matches. They lost against England, in the warm-up match and also against US. On the other hand, India is in the ascendancy and all the players are in form. Pakistan's batting lineup is not working and they are not aware of the conditions here in New York," he added. Sidhu pointed out that even if Rohit Sharma's side have an advantage, Pakistan can do anything on a given day. "India will have an advantage but on a given day Pakistan can do anything," he added.

An ICC source revealed to news agency PTI that if things go well, Sachin Tendulkar will be in New York for the marquee clash, cheering for the Men in Blue. 

India vs Pakistan: Sachin Tendulkar expected to be present in New York for T20 World Cup match

An ICC source revealed to news agency PTI that if things go well, Sachin Tendulkar will be in New York for the marquee clash, cheering for the Men in Blue.&nbsp;

The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team will have a very special person supporting them as the legendary Sachin Tendulkar is expected to be present during their marquee T20 World Cup clash against arch-rivals Pakistan in New York on June 9.
According to a source close to ICC, 51-year-old Tendulkar, who is associated with a brand that is one of the key sponsors of the global body, will be in attendance at the Nassau County ground in the outskirts of New York, which is expected to be full on that particular morning.
"Yes, if all goes well, Sachin will be watching the match in New York and cheering the Indian team," a source working closely with the ICC told PTI on conditions of anonymity.
"It is still not known if he would meet the players prior to the game or not but his mere presence in the stands will certainly be a morale booster for Rohit Sharma and his men in what will be the most important group league assignment." Tendulkar, inarguably the greatest ever Indian cricketer to grace international cricket still tops the run-scoring charts in both Tests and ODI cricket. He has played six 50-over World Cups between 1992 and 2011.
He has earlier also been a 'Brand Ambassador' of ICC during the 2015 ODI World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.&nbsp;

&ldquo;The ICC general manager Wasim Khan also recently visited Lahore where he discussed the CT arrangements with the PCB top brass and it was suggested that the Indian team&rsquo;s travel itinerary be kept to a minimum,&rdquo;&nbsp; - PCB source to PTI

Pakistan cricket authorities have suggested to the International Cricket Council to schedule India&rsquo;s qualifying round matches only in one city during the Champions Trophy next year.
The Pakistan Cricket Board, slated to host the upcoming edition of the Champions Trophy in 2025, has picked three cities in Karachi, Rawalpindi and Lahore, which also gets the final, as venues to organise the tournament.
&ldquo;ICC general manager Wasim Khan also recently visited Lahore where he discussed the CT arrangements with the PCB top brass and it was suggested that the Indian team&rsquo;s travel itinerary be kept to a minimum,&rdquo; a PCB source informed.
The source added that India could play its initial qualifying round games at Karachi before proceeding to the venues for the knockouts.
With their cricket engagements restricted only to ICC tournaments, the Indian cricket team has not played in Pakistan since 2008.
Last year, the Indian cricket board did not send the national team for the Asia Cup which was eventually held in Pakistan and Sri Lanka in a hybrid model.
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi has maintained that all teams would play the Champions Trophy in Pakistan as per schedule.
He also informed that stadium renovation work would commence soon, with the tournament expected to be held in February-March 2025.

<h2>&ldquo;I always try and talk to him whenever we play against each other. I always ask him a few questions and he helps me with it" - Babar Azam on his post-match conversations with Virat Kohli</h2>

Pakistan's white-ball captain, Babar Azam, recently shared his unexpected yet heartwarming experiences from his time in India during the ODI World Cup, including notable interactions with Indian cricket star Virat Kohli. In a conversation with Zalmi TV, Azam expressed his astonishment at the warm reception and affection he received from Indian fans, something he hadn't anticipated before his arrival.
Azam revealed his initial reservations due to his lack of familiarity with India, saying, &ldquo;Main India se expect nahi kar raha tha (I was not expecting it from India),&rdquo; highlighting his surprise at fans chanting his name. &ldquo;Mai bilkul nahi expect kar raha tha. Main first time ja raha tha India, mujhe wahaan ki koi knowledge nahi thi (I was not expecting it at all. It was my first time in India and I had no knowledge about the country).&rdquo;
The warmth and welcome extended to the Pakistani team went beyond Azam's expectations, particularly noting the reception at Hyderabad airport as "outstanding." He noted the exceptional love and appreciation from the Indian public throughout the World Cup, stating, &ldquo;Wo ek alag experience tha. Unka pyar tha, logo ne bahut pyar diya humey, bahut appreciate kiya (It was a different experience altogether. We got so much love from the Indian public, they appreciated our cricket).&rdquo;
Even practice matches saw stadiums filled to the brim, with Azam recalling, &ldquo;Humare practice matches mey log aaye yaar, pura stadium packed tha. Hyderabad mey pura stadium packed tha (Even during our practice games, people came to watch us. The entire stadium in Hyderabad was jam-packed).&rdquo; This support was a testament to the cricket-loving culture in India, where the sport transcends borders.
The atmosphere during the match against India at the Narendra Modi Stadium was notably unique for Azam. He described it as a "different vibe," with the stadium awash in a sea of blue, indicative of the passionate fanbase in India. However, he also acknowledged the exceptional support received at other venues throughout the tournament.
Azam also shared insights into his post-match conversation with Virat Kohli, highlighting the mutual respect and willingness to learn from each other. &ldquo;I always try and talk to him whenever we play against each other. I always ask him a few questions and he helps me with it. Not only him, I also talk a lot to Steve Smith and Kane Williamson, when we play against Australia and New Zealand, respectively. I had a good chat with Virat Kohli, there are things that we talk about that I can&rsquo;t share here but it was fruitful.&rdquo;
On a lighter note, Azam praised Indian cuisine, particularly enjoying Hyderabadi biryani and samosa chaat, which he found unique and delightful.

It was a hurricane of the Indian bowlers that ran through the Pakistan batting line-up in the first innings of their 2023 ODI World Cup clash in Ahmedabad on Saturday. Put in to bat first, Pakistan were cruising along steadily till Mohammed Siraj drew first blood, sending Abdullah Shafique back in the 8th over. Just five overs later, Hardik Pandya said a little prayer, bowled a delivery and off went Imam-ul-Haq. For the next 15 odd overs, skipper Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan stitched up 50-run partnership for the 4th wicket. Azam also scored his first half-century of the tournament in 58 balls but his success was short lived. Mohammed Siraj returned in the 30th over to clean bowled him. After that, the Indian bowling line-up left nothing to chance. Mohammad Rizwan was the next to go as Jasprit Bumrah claimed the first of his two wickets. Except for Shardul Thakur, each of the pacers and the two spinners scalped two wickets each. From 155-2 in 29.2 overs to 191-10 in 42.5 overs, the downfall of Pakistan was too rapid to register.

India vs Pakistan is not just a cricket match but an emotion. While players battle it out on the field, fans and former cricketers often exchange blows off it.
