The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 has kicked off, and the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan is underway at the Dubai International Stadium. The cricket fans around the world are glued to their TV screens, witnessing the high-voltage action between the two arch-rivals. The match has seen an erratic start for the Rohit Sharma-led side, with pacer Mohammed Shami bowling five wides in the opening over, surpassing Jasprit Bumrah's nine-ball over to bowl the longest over by an Indian in the Champions Trophy.
Interestingly, former India skipper MS Dhoni was spotted watching the match with famous Bollywood actor Sunny Deol. A video posted on the Instagram of Star Sports India showed the duo discussing the match while sitting with some fans. This is not the only celebrity sighting, as Tollywood Megastar Chiranjeevi was also seen posing with young Indian cricketers Tilak Varma and Abhishek Sharma during the match. Chiranjeevi, who is currently working on the socio-fantasy drama Vishwambhara, spent a lot of time watching the match and chit-chatting with the rising stars of Indian cricket.
The match between India and Pakistan has always been a thrilling one, with countless memorable moments for the fans. Due to political tensions, the two teams have not played a bilateral series for over 10 years, making their encounters at international competitions even more special. The entertainment industry is also abuzz with excitement, as celebrities from Bollywood and Tollywood are showing their support for the Indian team. With the match still underway, fans are eagerly waiting to see the outcome and cheer for their favorite team.
Some of the notable moments from the match include Mohammed Shami's five wides in the opening over, which is the most by any bowler in the opening over of the Champions Trophy. Tinashe Panyangara of Zimbabwe holds the record of bowling the most wides (seven) in an over in the tournament. The Indian pacer was not looking at his best and was attended by the team physio on the ground during his third over, after which he went off the field for a brief period before returning later. The match is expected to be a nail-biter, with both teams giving their all to win the coveted trophy.
