Jasprit Bumrah REACHES Dubai to Support Rohit Sharma-Led Team India During ICC Champions Trophy 2025 Game vs Pakistan
India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is not part of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad and that was a big setback for the side.
India vs Pakistan: India's pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah is not part of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 squad and that was a big setback for the side. But now, as Team India get ready to take on arch-nemesis Pakistan, Bumrah has reached Dubai on Sunday just ahead of the game. He will be supporting Rohit's Team India and his presence is bound to lift the spirits of the Men in Blue. Bumrah was spotted in his casuals, not the Indian blue. The pacer will in all probability meet the players before the match. He is arguably the best bowler of the generation and India would be hoping his absence does not hurt them in any which way. Here is the picture of Bumrah that is going viral:

Meanwhile, Bumrah was ruled out of the squad due to an injury. The Indian board did not want to take a risk with him and hence he was not included. Harshit Rana replaced India's pace spearhead. In all probability, Harshit would be featuring in the game against Pakistan in Dubai.
Given their form and record, Team India start hot favourites against Pakistan. The Men in Green would come into the game on the back of an embarrassing loss against New Zealand. For Pakistan, only a win will keep their semi-final chances alive. On the other hand, a win for India would be good enough to see them through to the semi-final.
IND vs PAK Squads:
India Squad: Rohit Sharma (c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli , Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya , Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Rishabh Pant , Washington Sundar, Varun Chakravarthy, Arshdeep Singh
Pakistan Squad: Babar Azam, Imam-ul-Haq, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w/c), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed, Kamran Ghulam, Faheem Ashraf, Mohammad Hasnain, Usman Khan
