The Indian team has landed in Dubai for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025 and has already started preparing for their opening match against Bangladesh on Thursday, February 20 at the Dubai International Cricket Ground.
Ahead of the big tournament, a young cricketer from the UAE, Zohair Iqbal, shared a lighthearted moment with Indian all-rounder Hardik Pandya during a practice session. In an Instagram reel posted by Iqbal, the two were seen sharing a fun exchange during a net session.
Hardik Pandya’s Hilarious Comment Leaves Everyone in Splits
With the tournament fast approaching, Team India has been putting in intense practice sessions, with local cricketers like Iqbal helping out as net bowlers. During one such session, Iqbal bowled to Pandya, and what followed was a funny moment that caught everyone's attention.
In the video, Hardik jokingly says, "He is a foreigner. But he has just come from Australia, right?" before adding, "Take care." This unexpected remark left both players briefly confused, making for an amusing and memorable moment.

India vs Pakistan – The Big Clash Awaits
After facing Bangladesh, India will take on their arch-rivals, Pakistan in what is expected to be one of the biggest matches of the tournament. The last time these two teams met in an ICC event in USA and West Indies, India defeated Pakistan by 6 wickets in the 2024 T20 World Cup.
