As the much anticipated India Pakistan match in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 gets closer, there  is one problem that has emerged for Team India—Virat Kohli was seen with an ice pack  on his left leg during a practice at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
This has raised questions about his fitness ahead of the crucial encounter on February 23.

IND vs PAK 2025 :

India and Pakistan will clash in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 on February 23 in Dubai. India, in top gear, seeks to continue its ICC dominance, while Pakistan hopes to recover from a defeat against New Zealand.

Kohli Pictured With  Ice Pack While Practicing :

Journalist Sahil Malhotra posted a picture on social  media where he spotted Kohli with an ice pack on his left leg while chilling in the dressing room  after a batting practice. Nevertheless there has been no official word on any injury, and the fans  and analysts are optimistic that this is more a precaution than anything else.

Concerns Over Kohli's Recent Form :   

 Kohli’s performance in the opening match of India against Bangladesh was a bit questionable as he  could mustered only 22 runs off 38 deliveries before being dismissed. The cricket great Sunil  Gavaskar has shared his worries on Kohli’s consecutive dismissals while using an open face  of the bat, an issue that has been recurring in recent games.    

Will Kohli take on Pakistan?    

At this moment there is no knowledge if the use of ice pack is related to  a significant injury or if it was used for recovery only. Obviously, his presence in the playing XI  will be vital for India’s chances in the India-Pakistan rivalry. The fans would be on the  lookout for an update from the team management on his fitness.     

As the blockbuster match countdown continues, all eyes will be on Kohli condition and whether he  will be able to take the field against Pakistan. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates on this story  as it develops.
