Viraj Ghelani shares his unforgettable India vs Pakistan match experience in Dubai, featuring a surprise featuring Hardik Pandya.
The India-Pakistan match in Dubai was a high-intensity clash, drawing fans from across the world. The fierce rivalry kept the crowd on edge.
Virat Kohli’s unbeaten 100* off 111 balls powered India to a thrilling victory over Pakistan in the Champions Trophy 2025.
Kohli remained not out on 100 runs off 111 balls as India chased down the 242-run target in 42.3 overs.
The 36-year-old reached the 14,000-run mark in his 287th inning, overtaking Tendulkar’s record of 350 innings. Kumar Sangakkara of Sri Lanka took 378 innings to get to the mark.
The world's fastest bowler Shoaib Akhtar jokingly said that he would have happily let Tendulkar hit him for a six every day if that made Indians happy.
The Indian eves had concluded as the runners-up in the 2017 edition in the UK where they lost to the hosts England in the final at Lord's.
The India-Pakistan series was originally scheduled in the sixth round of the competition, between July and November 2019, but despite the best efforts of both the boards, it was unable to take place, ICC said in a statement.
The two nations have not played a bilateral cricket series since 2007 due to tensed diplomatic relationships between them. The only time they face each other is during the ICC events.
