Team India captain Rohit Sharma refused to put extra pressure on themselves before the all-important Champions Trophy 2025 match against Pakistan. He also stated that it’s just another game for them and will go on the field to treat it that way as well. Notably, India and Pakistan will take on each other in one of the biggest matches of the eight-team event at the Dubai International Stadium on February 23.

Speaking during the Naman Awards Ceremony on Saturday, Rohit said as quoted by The Hindustan Times: “Look, I think in the past two or three years, I’ve spoken a lot about that game. It’s just a game for us. We will try and do what is required for any cricket team to do on that particular day. No special mentioning about, from our side at least, about that particular game. We just want to show up there and show up well.”

Rohit Sharma also hopes for the Indian team to take inspiration from their T20 World Cup campaign last year when TEam India lifted the trophy by staying unbeaten throughout the tournament.

“There’s no time for you to take the pedal off the gas. You always want to be there and, you know, be ready for that challenge. We recently finished the T20 World Cup, which was superb for us. Now we look forward to another one, which is in a few weeks’ time. Look, everyone’s, you know, being, getting prepared in their own fashion. A lot of the guys are playing domestic cricket, and a lot of the guys are playing international cricket as well. When the time comes, it’s all about just getting your mind right and focusing on what lies ahead,” Rohit Sharma concluded.
