The high-stakes Champions Trophy clash between India and Pakistan saw a shaky start for Rohit Sharma's side as veteran pacer Mohammed Shami bowled an 11-ball opening over, setting an unwanted record for the longest over by an Indian in the tournament's history.

Shami's wayward first over included five wides, surpassing Jasprit Bumrah's nine-ball over against Pakistan in the 2017 Champions Trophy final. India had lost that match by 180 runs, a painful memory for fans.

Shami's five wides in the first over also marked the most by any bowler in the opening over of a Champions Trophy match. However, the overall record for most wides in an over in the tournament still belongs to Zimbabwe's Tinashe Panyangara, who sent down seven in a single over.

The seasoned Indian pacer looked far from his best, prompting an on-field visit from the team physio during his third over. He briefly left the field before returning later in the innings.

With both Shami and Harshit Rana going wicketless in their opening spells, it was all-rounder Hardik Pandya who provided India's first breakthrough, dismissing Babar Azam for 23 off 26 balls in the ninth over.

Shami had been in good form in India's tournament opener, taking 5 for 53 in a comfortable six-wicket win over Bangladesh.

Earlier, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and opted to bat.

Emotions ran high as Hardik Pandya dismissed Pakistan opener Babar Azam in what was an early blow for the Men in Green during the high-stakes clash at the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on Sunday.

Following a steady start to the innings against India, Pakistan openers, Babar and Imam-ul-Haq, were looking to pose a long-standing partnership when Pandya struck.

And as it happened, it was Pandya’s intense send-off that grabbed eyeballs.

Babar, who had made a positive start with five crisp boundaries in his 23 off 26 balls, attempted a cover drive off a slightly back-of-length delivery from Pandya.

However, the ball found the outside edge of his bat and nestled safely in KL Rahul’s gloves, sparking celebrations in the Indian camp.

As the Indian players rejoiced, Pandya turned up the heat with a bold ‘bye-bye’ wave directed at Babar, a gesture that instantly went viral.

With Pakistan opting to bat first, their innings started with promise but soon encountered trouble.

Babar, who looked set for a big innings, became the first wicket to fall at 41 in the ninth over. The frustration of losing their opening batter early was evident in the Pakistan dressing room, while Indian fans erupted with joy.

The dismissal was a crucial moment, as Pandya’s aggressive intent with both ball and attitude set the tone for India.

The gesture from Pandya added fuel to the already intense rivalry between the two cricketing giants.

Social media exploded with reactions, with fans divided over whether it was pure passion or an unnecessary display of aggression. Regardless, the moment has only added another chapter to the heated history of India-Pakistan encounters.

When the toss came in Pakistan skipper Mohammed Rizwan's favour in the Champions Trophy on Sunday, it set a world record for India. It marked the 12th consecutive toss lost for India in ODI contests as Pakistan chose to bat in the high-octane clash.

India have now lost 12 consecutive tosses, a streak that began in November 23.

Before this, Netherlands had the record for the most consecutive tosses lost in 50-over matches. They had gone without the coin coming in their favour for 11 matches in a spell that ran from March 2011 until August 2013.

In the Group A match at the Dubai International Stadium, Pakistan decided to bat and made one change to their lineup from the opening fixture. In the opener, Pakistan were beaten convincingly by New Zealand.

India, meanwhile, are on the cusp of qualifying for the semi-finals, should they win.

"We'll bat first, looks like a good surface. Want to put up a good target. Every match is important in ICC events, we will keep things normal. The boys are familiar with these conditions, we have done well here and we want to do our best today. We lost our last game, but it is past for us now. One change - Fakhar is out, Imam is in," Rizwan said after winning the toss.

Men in Blue skipper Rohit confirmed an unchanged XI.

"Doesn't really matter, they won the toss so we'll bowl first. Looks similar to the last game, the surface is on the slower side. We have an experienced unit in batting, so we know what we need to do if the pitches get slower. Need an overall performance from the team - with bat and ball. The last game wasn't an easy one for us, which is always nice. You want to be under pressure and test yourself. We are playing the same team," Rohit said.

The last time India and Pakistan clashed in the Champions Trophy was during the 2017 edition's final, when Virat Kohli-led unit was humbled by the Men in Green. India were skittled out for 158 runs while chasing a mammoth 338 runs.
