Today, there is a big cricket match between India and Pakistan in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, taking place in Dubai. To wish good luck to the Indian cricket team, a special prayer ceremony called ‘puja’ and ‘aarti’ was held in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. This city is famous for hosting the Maha Kumbh Mela, a major spiritual festival.
Fans gathered by the riverside to join the ceremony, where a priest performed ‘aarti’ to bless the team. This match is one of the most important games in cricket, and fans from both India and Pakistan are very excited about it.
India began the Champions Trophy strongly, winning against Bangladesh earlier this week. Ahead of this intense match, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan made an interesting comment. He said he hopes Pakistan wins this match because it will make the tournament more exciting. “If Pakistan wins, it creates a better contest,” he explained.
India has won the last five one-day matches against Pakistan, with Pakistan’s last win being in the final of this tournament back in 2017. Recently, in the 2023 World Cup, India defeated Pakistan easily, bowling them out for 191 runs while chasing the target comfortably.
Matches between India and Pakistan attract a lot of attention, even from those who aren’t big cricket fans. This year’s rivalry match is something everyone will enjoy watching at home on Sunday!
