As team India set to take on arch-rivals Pakistan in the much awaited ICC Champions Trophy 2017 clash at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in England, Border Security Force (BSF) jawans posted in Jammu wished ‘good luck’ to team Indian for their high-voltage Group B encounter. The match between India and Pakistan will start at 3PM IST.
News agency ANI released a video on their official twitter handle in which BSF can be seen dancing and chanting ‘Jeetega bhai Jeetega India Jeetega’ ahead of team India’s Champions Trophy 2017 match against Pakistan. Indian team-led by Virat Kohli would go into the tie as favourites because of their past performances and the presence of star players like MS Dhoni, Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan among others.

Earlier a video showing a camel predicting the winner of today’s battle has gone viral on social media. In the video, a reporter got a camel presumably from the Lahore Zoo to predict which country will take the cake today. In the video, you can see the clearly ecstatic reporter asserting that the camel will decide the future of the match and it apparently does.
Earlier Indian skipper Virat Kohli said that the team members are hundred per cent motivated for the Pakistan game. “We are hundred per cent motivated for the Pakistan game. We just have to play good cricket. All you can do is focus on your skills. You should be good enough to handle a cricket ball, no matter whom you play. Have to come out on top,” Virat said.
On the other hand Pakistan Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed said that the pressure will be on team India. “The pressure will be on India only, we are not under pressure because we are on No.8 (ICC ODI Rankings) and we can’t do worse than that. We will try to play freely. If we win from here then our rankings will go up, it is a possibility that their ranking might go down if we win,” Sarfaraz said.
