India and Pakistan will play their first match of the tournament against each other on 4th July 2017. India vs Pakistan is always a mighty clash but because it will be their opening match of all-important ICC Champions Trophy 2017.

This is what Junaid Khan said:

“I have dismissed him in three out of the four matches we have faced each other. He is a brilliant batsman but he has failed against me,” Khan told The Express Tribune. 

“When I face him, I will consider him the same Kohli. I may be wrong but I think he will also think of me as the same Junaid that has taken his wicket before, which might make him go on the defensive a bit more and therefore lose his wicket,” said Khan. 

Junaid also spoke about Pakistan’s captain Sarfaraz Ahmed and said that he is a good leader who encourages the bowlers to bowl the way they want to.

“I have played two ODI matches under his captaincy against the West Indies and we won both matches, with me claiming three wickets.

“He is a good leader and encourages the bowlers to bowl the way they want to, while also giving his own input.”
