India and Pakistan are renewing their epic rivalry on the cricket field in front of an audience of hundreds of millions of people tuning in to catch the two arch rivals go head-to-head in Dubai on Sunday.

India and Pakistan's bitter cricket rivalry is set to ignite once more in Dubai for the Champions Trophy. Despite India's dominance in recent encounters, emotions run high as both teams prepare for the clash.

The lop-sided nature of arguably cricket's fiercest rivalry in recent years notwithstanding, emotions in both countries will run high when bitter neighbours India and Pakistan clash in a Champions Trophy blockbuster in Dubai on Sunday.

India's vice-captain and star batsman Shubman Gill has defended the importance of the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry. This comes as the two teams gear up for a face-off in the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy on Sunday in Dubai. The match has ignited debates about whether it has lost its charm over the years and turned one-sided in India's favor.

India has refused to play its Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan, which is hosting its first major global tournament in almost 30 years.

Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh said that Pakistan is at an advantage during their high-profile ICC Champions Trophy 2025 clash against India, saying that they have played a lot of cricket in Dubai and understand the conditions really well.
