In a surprising statement ahead of the highly anticipated India-Pakistan Champions Trophy match on February 23, 2025, in Dubai, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan expressed his desire for a Pakistan victory. Wassan believes that a win for Pakistan would intensify the tournament's competitiveness, stating, "I want Pakistan to win. Maza aayega (it will be fun, tournament-wise)." Pakistan, having lost their opening match to New Zealand, faces a must-win situation to remain in contention. Wassan also praised India's batting depth and supported the team's spin-heavy strategy tailored for Dubai's conditions.
