Ahead of the crucial match between India and Pakistan in the fifth match of Champions Trophy 2025, the players have received a massive boost as Jasprit Bumrah marked his presence at the Dubai Stadium, where he interacted with the players including Virat Kohli. 

Notably, Bumrah, who has been ruled out of Champions Trophy 2025 because of a back injury, arrived in Dubai to collect his ICC Trophies. Several photos flouted on the internet showing Bumrah posing with the trophies. It is worth noting that the right-arm seamer had a brilliant year as he won the ICC Test player of the year award and also the ICC player of the year award for his stellar performance. 

Bumrah Hugs Virat Kohli Ahead Of The Crucial Tie

Virat Kohli is going through a slump with the bat and the right-hand batter would look to end that against Pakistan. Meanwhile, Bumrah, whose absence is a difficult void to fill in the Indian team, hugged Virat and must have assured him to regain his lost mojo against the Men in Green. 

Talking about Bumrah, he had a phenomenal year in 2024 and was world's leading wicket-taker with 86 wickets across formats. He was named in India's initial squad for 2025 Champions Trophy. However, the BCCI waited for the deadline day to make a call on Jasprit, but the right-arm seamer failed to recover in time and is now eying to make a return to competitive cricket with IPL. 

Further, Harshit Rana was named in the squad in place of Bumrah. He did well in the first match against Bangladesh where he took three wickets.
