New Delhi: A massive crowd gathered at the Dubai International Stadium to witness the mega clash between India and Pakistan in the Champions Trophy 2025. The fans broke into loud cheers as star Indian fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah was spotted on the ground.
Bumrah is currently recovering from a back injury that he sustained during the last Test match against Australia in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. However, his recovery didn’t stop him from travelling to Dubai to support Rohit and Co. on Sunday.

The star pacer won the Sir Garfield Sobers Trophy for men’s cricketer of the year 2024 and was also named the test cricketer of the year 2024. He also met with Indian players who were doing their practice after arriving at the Stadium.
