India’s Champions Trophy campaign got off to a good start after defeating Bangladesh by six wickets. A few of the best players also gave outstanding performances. For their upcoming encounter against Pakistan, the team was also recently spotted rehearsing at the Dubai International Stadium.
Virat Kohli, the standout batsman for India, was bowled to by a net bowler during one of the practice sessions. The bowler, whose name was Ibrar Ahmad Dawar, was last seen representing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the ILT20. In his seven games, the 20-year-old bowler from the United Arab Emirates claimed four wickets, with his best statistics of 2/27 coming against the Gulf Giants, where he claimed the wickets of James Vince and Jordan Cox.
When Ibrar bowled to the India mainstay, he showed some excellent pace, which also impressed Virat Kohli.
Bahut Acchi Bowling Bahut assists Kiya Apne (effectively bowled; he has bowled incredibly effectively). He’s been really helpful. “Thank you,” Virat said in the social media video.

Speaking about the present game, this is the sixth time that India and Pakistan have faced off in the Champions Trophy, with India winning two games and the Green Shirts winning three. In their most recent Champions Trophy encounter, Pakistan defeated India in the 2017 Champions Trophy finals.
With captain Muhammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel at the crease attempting to gain ground after the openers were removed early with Imam-ul-Haq being run out and Babar Azam edging one through to the keeper, Pakistan is currently at 137-2 after 20.4 overs.
