India will take on Pakistan in the Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday, February 23 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium in Dubai. This match is getting a lot of discussion due to the frequent battles between the two countries at the international level. The last time the two teams clashed in the T20 World Cup 2024 match was in June. India defeated Pakistan by six runs in a close match.
Ahead of the match between the two, India's legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has made a big statement. Yuvraj Singh has been one of those cricketers who has been a part of many exciting matches between India and Pakistan. Be it the final of the T20 World Cup 2007, the semi-final of World Cup 2011, or the final of Champions Trophy 2017, the all-rounder has been at the forefront in every event. Talking about the rivalry, he said, 'Nothing is guaranteed when the two countries meet, every match is like a final.'
Nothing is guaranteed
"Whatever the format, India-Pakistan games always feel like finals - be it a group match, semi-final or championship. The pressure is very high. You don't want to lose because it creates the atmosphere of the tournament. Winning builds momentum and confidence. I remember the last time I played in the Champions Trophy, we beat Pakistan in the first game, but they beat us in the final. So, nothing is guaranteed, but to start with a win on such a big stage, when the whole world is watching, is very important," Yuvraj Singh said on Jio Hotstar's 'Greatest Rivalry Returns' show.
Yuvraj played a brilliant innings.
Talking about Yuvraj Singh, after returning to professional cricket after cancer, he hit the fastest half-century by an Indian in a league game against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy in 2017.

Yuvraj was adjudged the Player of the Match for his brilliant batting performance.
