Pakistan all-rounder Khushdil Shah trusts they can defeat India by bringing their best performance to the upcoming Champions Trophy clash. Regardless of a rough start, Shah emphasizes that handling pressure will be crucial. He also labelled criticism about his selection, urging fans to continue their support. Pakistan handle a must-win situation after losing to New Zealand.
Pakistan all-rounder Khushdil Shah has recognized India’s strength but securely believes that Pakistan can defeat their arch-rivals if they perform at their best in their critical Champions Trophy 2025 clash on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium.
Pakistan have beaten India in three of their five matches of Champions Trophy meetings which include the famous 2017 final at the Oval. However, India have better performance in ICC encounters specially in the 50-over World cup.
Khushdil emphasized that handling pressure will be key. “When India and Pakistan play, the whole world watches. The team that manages pressure better wins, and we are used to it.” He also encouraged fans to continue supporting Pakistan despite their rough start.

Khushdil told “We have lost one match but we are still in the tournament. We can beat India if we play well so don’t rule out as yet,”
However, the batter also expressed frustration over criticism regarding his selection, telling, ” Even I don’t know how I got selected.” He sorrowed the hostile reception from fans but claimed he has learned to embrace it.
