On February 23, India will play Pakistan in Champions Trophy 2025 Match 5 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. It will be a match between fierce rivals who have a long history of playing cricket together, and their match is always the most anticipated in the sport. Fans responded favourably to former India captain MS Dhoni’s recent ad promoting the forthcoming match, which has further increased the excitement.
Bollywood star Sunny Deol is the latest to join the trend.
Deol will witness the Champions Trophy 2025 match live on Star Sports and JioHotstar, the official broadcasters in India, with great wicketkeeper batsman Dhoni. For those who are unaware, Dhoni only plays for the Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League after retiring from international cricket in 2020.

India’s Champions Trophy 2025 campaign has started off well after defeating Bangladesh by 60 runs in the opening match. However, Pakistan’s first match against New Zealand ended in a crushing defeat. They will be disqualified from the tournament if they lose from here. Following this, Pakistan will play Bangladesh, while India will play New Zealand.
For the first time since Pakistan’s victory in 2017, the Champions Trophy is now under progress. As a result, they became the current edition’s default host. Given that India came into the match with a spin-heavy playing XI and Pakistan primarily depends on their pacers to deliver big returns, it would be intriguing to watch how the teams approach this match.
