  • India and Pakistan will take on each other on February 23 in the Champions Trophy. The last time they played each other in the competition was the final of the last edition in 2017. India lost to Pakistan and failed to defend the title won in 2017.

The article discusses the aftermath of the Champions Trophy final where India lost to Pakistan. Rajkumar Sharma, Virat Kohli's childhood coach, attributed the loss to Kohli's decision to bowl first after winning the toss, a choice that backfired as Pakistan scored a formidable 338/4, thanks to Fakhar Zaman's century. Sharma criticized Kohli's strategy, suggesting that batting first would have been a better option given the conditions and the form of the Indian team. He also highlighted that the Indian bowling attack, particularly the spinners, failed to make an impact, and the pressure of the final might have influenced Kohli's decision-making. Despite the loss, Sharma praised Kohli's overall captaincy and performance in the tournament.
