Fakhar Zaman picks three Indian players to watch
Ahead of the Pakistan star tournament Fakhar Zaman highlighted three Indian players who could change the game. The Pakistani opener went with the all-rounder Hardik Pandya and two world stars – Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma – according to his choices.
“For me, Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are the players to watch out for. They are match winners and have the ability to change the game themselves.” Fakhar noted as being quoted by Cricket Pakistan.
The Pakistani opener also reflected on his preparations for the Champions Trophy and his iconic performance in the 2017 final against India.
“That century in the 2017 Champions Trophy final is a memory I will always cherish. It was a turning point for our team, and such moments fuel my motivation for such tournaments,” added Fakhar.

Excitement for Indo-Pak clash
When it comes to cricketing rivalries, few can match the intensity of the clash between India and Pakistan. The clash between these two cricketing giants in the Champions Trophy 2025 is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament. Fakhar expressed his excitement for the rivalry but also lamented the lack of domestic support for Pakistan.
“Playing against India is always special. While it would be great to host them at home, these decisions are beyond our control. The atmosphere in the India-Pakistan match is second to none,” Fakhar added further.
