For the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025, co-hosted by Pakistan and the UAE, promotional activities have gained momentum, especially in Lahore, where posters of Indian cricket stars Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah have been spotted. The tournament is set to begin on February 19, 2025, with India’s matches, including the much-anticipated clash against Pakistan, scheduled in Dubai due to political tensions preventing India from playing in Pakistan.

The presence of Kohli’s posters in Lahore highlights his massive fan following in Pakistan, sparking excitement on social media. Meanwhile, India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir has emphasized the importance of senior players like Rohit Sharma and Kohli in leading the team, especially after their recent return to domestic cricket to regain form.

Ticket sales for India’s group-stage matches and the first semi-final began on February 3, 2025, with general stand tickets priced at AED 125. The demand was overwhelming, and all tickets for the India-Pakistan match in Dubai have already been sold out.

As the Champions Trophy approaches, cricket fans eagerly await thrilling encounters, with expectations high for top players like Kohli and Sharma to deliver standout performances on the big stage.
