Delhi: Okay, both India and Pakistan want to win the title of the Champions Trophy 2025 (ICC Champions Trophy 2025), but even before that, in these two countries a special question in different style, is most discussed:

In India: Will India avenge the Champions Trophy 2017 defeat with victory on 23 February? In Pakistan: Will Pakistan, Champions Trophy 2017 be able to continue the victory with win over India on 23 February?

In the final of the 2017 Champions Trophy, at the Oval, the wounds of defeat from Pakistan are still remembered. India was the best team of the tournament, defeating Pakistan in a group round match, but lost in the final. In addition, India's better record against Pakistan is also in front of Pakistan. That is why the whole of India believes that Rohit Sharma's team will be able to avenge the defeat in the 2017 Champions Trophy final on 23 February.

The entire country will be watching the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on that day. The question of winning or not winning the Champions Trophy 2025 of Team India will be asked then. In cricket, issues like avenging defeat in a particular match are not right but what to do, it is an India-Pakistan match and separate from any other cricket match. And when cricket lovers across the country start arranging firecrackers and sweets in advance.

In the new ICC policy, now India and Pakistan are again in the same group and this is a group round match. India is playing all its matches at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, while Pakistan team will especially come to Dubai for this match.

Ravi Shastri discusses this match in a different way and he says- 'If you lose, the pain of defeat will be reminded for the next several years.' Ravi Shastri knows how big rivalry between Team India and Pakistan is in international cricket. On the other hand, before this most awaited match of the ICC Champions Trophy, Team India coach Gautam Gambhir said- 'The importance of this group round match of Champions Trophy against Pakistan is equal to the remaining matches of this tournament.' On this comment, Ravi Shastri says- 'When I was also the coach of the team, I used to talk a similar diplomatic talk about this match, but there is really something else in this match. Everyone, wants to win it inside. If this does not happen, then the next time it will be remembered till playing against Pakistan.

It is true. Who is worried about this record at this time what has happened before? The record of the last 10 matches is not useful, even if 8-9 of them have won. Now the eye is on the February 23 match and it has to be believed that this match is completely different. Ricky Ponting also believes the same. Since the 2023 ODI World Cup, where Pakistan has recorded a record of 66.67 percent win with 8 wins and 4 defeats in 12 ODIs, BCCI does not know why no special importance to play ODI and if against England of this month If you do not count 3 ODIs, then in the last 14 months, only 6 ODIs were played. However, since the 2023 ODI World Cup, there is 5 wins in the record 9 matches (percent 55.56) and this format will feel lacking to play much. Even then, today's cricketers are accustomed to shift themselves to another format with one format, so expect this factor will not harm.

Even though there are group matches with Bangladesh and New Zealand in the Champions Trophy for India, they have to believe that the preparations for those matches are less to play with Pakistan. There was a time when the India-Pakistan match was the biggest attraction in the UAE (then in Sharjah) and now that thrill has shifted to Dubai. Both teams, earlier in an ICC tournament in 2021, were face to face on this ground, and then Pakistan had won a big win by 10 wickets. Well, that result does not matter much because it was a T20 match and it is a 50 -over match, but if we talk about Dubai, then you have to account for that defeat.

In 50 overs cricket, Team India has experience, batting and bowling are strengthened and it will have an impact, when India and Pakistan have compared the team face to face, India is far better and more experienced. The victory in the ICC Champions Trophy will be made with victory in the February 23 match and Team India is set to avenge the 2017 final by defeating Pakistan.
