The match is also expected to be the most-viewed match in the tournament this year. Fans were also informed that famous Bollywood cult hero Sunny Deol will be watching the match in the television channel’s studio. The veteran action also revealed in a teaser video that he would be watching the match with a special unnamed celebrity, which left fans dropping their own predictions.
All fans predicted that Deol would watch the match with MS Dhoni, and took to the social media platform to share their claims.
Here are the reactions:
Dhoni retired from international cricket after the 2019 World Cup, and has been in action only in IPL since then. He will be taking part in IPL 2025 too, but this time as an uncapped player for Chennai Super Kings.
In Champions Trophy history, India trail 2-3 vs Pakistan, and lost the last time they met, which was in the 2017 final. Meanwhile in ODIs, Pakistan lead 73-57 but have failed to win any of their last 11 completed matches in that format.
Speaking ahead of the match, India opener Shubman Gill said, “India-Pakistan has its own history. It is an exciting contest every time both teams play. If so many people get happiness by watching this rivalry, who are we to call it over-hyped or under-hyped? We go to play cricket and we try to make our team win. It is a big match, but I think the biggest match would be the finals that any team plays.”
“We have been playing some good ODI cricket. Pakistan have lost some of the matches they have played recently. By no means will we think of them as a lesser side,” he added.
