Champions Trophy: India Will Be Quietly Optimistic, But Have To Be Watchful Against Pakistan, Says Paranjape
Dubai International Stadium: Jatin Paranjape, the former India cricketer and national selector, believes though the Rohit Sharma-led side will be quietly optimistic of winning their much-anticipated Champions Trophy clash against Pakistan, they would remain watchful of Mohammad Rizwan & Co due to their unpredictability factor.
On Sunday, the environment in the 2025 Champions Trophy will hit a crescendo when India take on Pakistan in a highly anticipated Group A clash, to be played in front of a sell-out crowd at the Dubai International Stadium. The two teams last met in an ODI game at the 2023 World Cup in Ahmedabad, with tournament hosts India winning by seven wickets.
“India will go into the game against Pakistan in a very watchful manner. I don’t think they will be in an overconfident frame of mind because Pakistan are a very unpredictable team. So, India will be quietly confident - that’s how I would put it.”
