The Indian Premier League: The Indian Premier League (IPL) chairman Arun Dhumal backed the Rohit Sharma-led side to come out strong against Pakistan in their much-anticipated Champions Trophy clash in Dubai on Sunday. As cricket fans across the globe wait for the blockbuster encounter to begin, Dhumal, who is in Dubai to witness the mega battle, said the atmosphere is very electric in the city.
"Excitement here in Dubai is 'jabardast'. This is one of the most watched games across the cricketing world. For both the teams it is an important match. The way Indian team is playing, I believe it will be a really good game, and our team will win," Dhumal told IANS from Dubai.
India started their campaign with a comfortable six-wicket win over Bangladesh on Wednesday. On the other hand, hosts Pakistan suffered a 60-run loss against New Zealand in the tournament opener in Karachi earlier this week.
