After India defeated Pakistan in the Champions Trophy 2025 by six wickets in 42.3 overs, India batter Shreyas Iyer said they could have won earlier had the side played "more aggressively". Iyer, who scored 56 runs off 67 deliveries, lauded Pakistan spinner Abrar Ahmed, saying that he "bowled brilliantly". "It wasn't easy to take charge against Abrar," Iyer further said.
