Gambhir Downplays India-Pakistan Clash in Champions Trophy Focus

India's head coach Gautam Gambhir emphasized that the upcoming Champions Trophy is about more than just the highly anticipated India-Pakistan match on February 23. He stated, "We don't go to the Champions Trophy thinking that the 23rd is the most important game for us," highlighting that every match is crucial as the tournament is a "make-or-break" scenario. Gambhir insists the team's mission is to secure victory in all five games to clinch the title, not just focus on one rivalry. This perspective aims to keep the players grounded and focused on their ultimate goal.
