The Pakistan-India cricket rivalry remains legendary, an iconic clash that electrifies both nations.
More than just a game, it is a battle of pride, passion, and history. Every time these two teams face off, the stakes soar higher than ever.
This time, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 carried even greater significance. Pakistan was hosting the tournament for the first time in 30 years—a huge milestone that made the match even more crucial. Although the clash took place in Dubai, a neutral venue, it still felt like home for Pakistani fans.
However, Pakistan’s high hopes quickly faded as the match unfolded.
India secured a commanding victory, winning by six wickets and effortlessly chasing down the modest target of 242 in just 42.3 overs.
The loss hit hard, especially on what Pakistanis considered home soil. As expected, disappointed fans took to social media, flooding timelines with frustration. Meanwhile, the match also triggered strong reactions from celebrities.
Before the game, some Pakistani celebs had already lost hope, predicting a tough night for the team. Others remained optimistic, clinging to hope—only for it to come crashing down midway through (sounds familiar, right?). Despite the heartbreak, they stood by the team until the end.
Now, let’s dive into how some of our favorite celebrities reacted to this memorable defeat.
