Champions Trophy 2025: Rishabh Pant in pain after being hit on knee during team's 1st training session

By our Special Correspondent

The entire India squad left for Dubai together rather than in batches from Mumbai and landed at Dubai International Airport, where they received a warm welcome before heading to their team hotel. 

                  India have already received a massive setback with pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah ruled out of the Champions Trophy due to lower back injury. However, there is another injury scare in the India camp as Rishabh Pant was hit on his right knee by Hardik Pandya's powerful shot in the adjacent net at the ICC Academy in Dubai.
