The players of Team India seem to be in a relaxed mood as they will be locking horns against arch-rivals Pakistan at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday. This will be the seventh World Cup encounter between both sides. India have the edge with a 6-0 record in World Cups and they will be aiming to continue their unbeaten run while Pakistan will be desperate to register their maiden win over the Men In Blue in the quadrennial event.

Coming back to the Men In Blue, they were seen having some fun after a well-deserved  36-run win over the reigning World Champions Australia. After an excellent outing against the Aussies, the players, the players watched the Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif-starrer 'Bharat'. However, their next match against New Zealand at Trent Bridge was washed away due to rain on Thursday and both teams had to split points.

While the fans are hoping that they get to watch the entire match and that the rain does not play a spoilsport, it did not deter the mood in the Indian camp as three of India's star players Dinesh Karthik, Yuzvendra Chahal and Vijay Shankar are making the most of their time in Manchester as they paid a visit to the Old Trafford ground '  ‘Theatre of Dreams' which is the home ground of the English Premier League team Manchester United.  The three also got the privilege of entering the dressing room of the footballers. Meanwhile, Yuzvendra Chahal who was seen interviewing his team-mates on his famous Chahal TV was seen posing with one of Manchester United's star players Romelu Lukaku’s jersey whom he addresses as his favourite player and is as strong as him.
