India faces Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, with Kohli`s form and historical dominance favoring India.

India is gearing up for a monumental showdown against Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on February 23rd. This match is steeped in historical rivalry, especially following Pakistan`s victory over India in the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy final. The stakes are high as both teams prepare to face off once again.

India enters this match with a wave of momentum, having recently swept England 3-0 in a home ODI series. The team boasts a formidable batting lineup, featuring stars like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul. The return of Virat Kohli to form is particularly significant; he has an impressive record against Pakistan, amassing 678 runs in 16 ODIs at an average of 52.

India`s historical dominance in ICC events further strengthens their position, as they have never lost to Pakistan in the ICC ODI World Cup and hold a 6-1 advantage in T20 World Cups. In contrast, Pakistan`s recent performances have been inconsistent, with their captain Mohammad Rizwan struggling to secure victories against top-tier international teams. The form of key bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has also raised concerns, potentially weakening Pakistan`s bowling attack.

As the anticipation builds for this epic clash, fans are eager to see if India can reclaim their dominance over their arch-rivals.
