India is in excellent form in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, having first defeated Bangladesh and then Pakistan, almost securing a spot in the semi-finals. The team is set to play its final league match against New Zealand on March 2. However, after the victory over Pakistan, the Indian team has seemingly gone off the radar.
The reason for this is that Team India has been granted a week's break before their next match. Following their win against Pakistan, the players opted not to practice on February 24, leading fans to wonder about their whereabouts.
No need for concern
There is no need for concern, as the team is enjoying a 2-day holiday after their 6-wicket victory at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. They are scheduled to return to practice on February 26, where they will begin preparations for both the semi-finals and the upcoming match against New Zealand.
Semi-final match likely on March 4
It's worth noting that if Team India qualifies for the semi-finals, the match is likely to take place in Dubai on March 4. To avoid the risk of injuries from continuous practice in Dubai's heat—where players like Rohit Sharma and Mohammed Shami faced difficulties during the match against Pakistan—the team has decided to take this break.
In the match, Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first, but they were all out for just 241 runs, with Kuldeep Yadav taking three wickets. Although India had a rocky start in their chase of 242 runs, Virat Kohli's outstanding century led the team to victory by 6 wickets, bringing them closer to the semi-finals.
