Hardik Pandya drew first blood for India by dismissing Babar Azam in IND vs PAK 2025 Champions Trophy clash

Pakistan opener Babar Azam looked in great touch in the 2025 Champions Trophy match against India. The right-handed batter hit five impressive boundaries early on.

However, his promising knock came to a premature end as he was dismissed by Hardik Pandya in the ninth over. It was a length delivery outside the off-stump. Babar was tempted to go for the cover drive.

The ball took the outside edge of his bat and went straight into the hands of wicketkeeper KL Rahul. Hardik provided India with a massive breakthrough, sending Babar packing. The 30-year-old scored 23 runs off 26 balls during his stay at the crease.

The ongoing encounter is a must-win one for Pakistan. After having suffered a 60-run defeat in their opening encounter against New Zealand, they must beat India to remain afloat in the competition.
