It was a day full of records as India and Pakistan squared off in Dubai on Sunday. The Champions Trophy 2025 fixture saw Mohammad Rizwan's men bat first although they lost Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq early. In the first over itself, Mohammed Shami bowled five wides, creating an unwanted of sorts, while the 22nd meeting between India and Pakistan made the IND-PAK fixture the joint-second most played game in ICC events. Furthermore, during the toss, Rohit Sharma also etched his name in the unwanted record books, as he lost his 12th consecutive toss with the Indian team not having won a toss since the 2023 ODI World Cup semi-final against New Zealand. India vs Pakistan joint second-most played fixture in ICC events behind IND vs AUS The India vs Pakistan meeting in Dubai on Sunday ensured that the IND-PAK fixture became the joint second-most played match in ICC white-ball events, including the ODI World Cup, the Champions Trophy and the T20 World Cup. When all matches in the aforementioned three tournaments are considered, India vs Pakistan remains the joint second-most played fixture, behind India vs Australia. India have played their arch-rivals Australia 24 times in ICC white-ball tournaments. Mohammed Shami's unwanted record with five wides It was hardly the ideal start for Mohammed Shami when he took control of the new ball against Pakistan. The veteran pacer bowled five wides in the first over of the Pakistani innings. Shami is fourth on the unwanted record list of most wides bowled in the Champions Trophy. Zimbabwe's T. Panyangara holds the dubious record for bowling the most (7) wides in the prestigious competition, achieving the feat against England in 2004. Darren Gough also bowled 7 wides in the first over against West Indies in 2004, while Chaminda Vaas sits ahead of Shami with six wides to his name. Rohit Sharma's rotten luck with the toss Rohit Sharma's misfortune with the toss continued as India lost a record 12th consecutive toss in ODI cricket. The last time India won the toss in the fifty-overs format was during the 2023 ODI World Cup semifinal against New Zealand.Original Article
