Rohit Sharma aims for strong performance in Pakistan-India clash<\/p>\n<\/figure><\/div>\n

MUMBAI<\/strong>: India\u2019s captain for longer formats, Rohit Sharma, has shared his approach for the highly anticipated Pakistan-India clash in the ICC Men\u2019s Champions Trophy 2025.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) annual awards, Sharma stated that he will treat the match like any other and focus solely on playing good cricket.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will do what is expected from any cricket team on that day,\u201d he said. \u201cWe are not making any specific mention of this match. Our focus is simply on playing good cricket, and we will do just that\u201d<\/p>\n

India\u2019s head coach Gautam Gambhir echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that the team\u2019s primary goal is to win the Champions Trophy rather than focusing on a single match.<\/p>\n

\u201cLook, we don\u2019t go to the Champions Trophy thinking that the 23rd is the most important game for us. I think five games, all the games are important,\u201d Gambhir said. \u201cThe mission to go to Dubai is to win the Champions Trophy, not only win one particular game. But yes, if that is one game in the middle of winning the Champions Trophy, we\u2019re going to try and take it as seriously as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd more importantly, I think when two countries, India and Pakistan, play against each other, obviously the emotions are really high, but ultimately the contest remains the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also acknowledged the emotional intensity of an India-Pakistan clash but maintained that the team will treat it like any other contest.<\/p>\n

India, the 2013 Champions Trophy winners, will begin their campaign against Bangladesh on February 20, followed by their clash with defending champions Pakistan on February 23. Their final group-stage match will be against New Zealand on March 2.<\/p>\n
