On Sunday morning, February 23, the Indian speedster Jasprit Bumrah was seen in the Indian camp ahead of the high voltage clash between India and Pakistan. However, Bumrah is not in his usual jersey but a casual bagging white shirt and blue wide jeans, having chats with the Indian players, including Virat Kohli. Jasprit Burmah, the villain of the 2017 Champions Trophy final against Pakistan, gradually developed himself into a key asset for the Indian team. Even in the Border Gavaskar Trophy in Australia, it was just him fighting against the Aussies. However, the long, tiring tour got the worst of Bumrah as he suffered from back stress, finally sidelining him from the marquee tournament. Hardhit Rana, the young pacer, was added to the squad since the three-match ODI series against England and continued playing in the Champions Trophy over Arshdeep Singh. Earlier, during the pre-match shoot of India vs Bangladesh wife, the sports presenter, aka Bumrah's wife, Sanjana Ganeshan, informed that Bumrah is fine and is training at the NCA, Bengaluru. However, having Bumrah in the stands hopefully will add more confidence to the team.

Waving off past results against New Zealand, Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan is hoping to start afresh. Pakistan got into Imam-ul-Haq in place of injured Fakhar Zaman. Babar Azam is also in, despite illness rumours in the morning practice session. At the toss, Rohit Sharma remained composed despite losing it, stating that the surface looks similar to the previous game and emphasizing the need to bowl well. He trusts his experienced batting lineup to step up and sees this as a great opportunity to perform as a unit. Acknowledging the challenge of chasing on this track, he remains confident in his team’s ability to adapt and deliver. Speaking about the pitch, it seems to be a bit slower and will assist both wrist and finger spinners. Six-hitting might not be easy, and a total of around 270 could be competitive.
