Ahead of their latest showdown, Team India stars Rohit Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav were spotted enjoying a meal at a popular Indian eatery in Dubai, with a video of their visit going viral on social media. The two cricketers were seen dining at Raju Omlet, a well-known street food spot in Dubai, with a huge crowd gathering outside to catch a glimpse of the players.

The India-Pakistan match is taking place in Dubai after India declined to travel to Pakistan, the official host of the tournament, due to ongoing political tensions between the two countries.

Rohit Sharma, in particular, will be looking to lead his team to victory, having been in good form in recent matches. The Indian team will be relying on his experience and skill to guide them through the tournament. Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav will be looking to make an impact with his bowling, having been a key player for India in recent years.

In other news, star Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav dropped an easy catch of Pakistan batter Saud Shakeel during the ongoing India-Pakistan Champions Trophy 2025 Group A match at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
