IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2026: India will lock horns with arch-rival Pakistan during their next match of the ongoing mega event on Sunday, and speculations are rife that he might also attend the match and cheer the Men in Blue. A video had gone viral from Mumbai's airport, where Rohit, along with his wife Ritika Sajdeh, was seen heading off somewhere. But since the India vs Pakistan match is right around the corner, fans speculated that he might attend the match.
Rohit also became the official brand ambassador of the ongoing mega event.

In India's first match against the USA, he was seen walking out with the 2024 title. The 2024 title ended their 11-year-old ICC trophy drought.
The upcoming India vs Pakistan game has been riddled with controversy. Political and diplomatic tensions between the countries have boiled over onto the cricket field since the Pahalgam attack last year. It intensified at the 2025 Asia Cup last year, when Indian players refused to shake hands with Pakistan cricketers before and after their matches.
Ahead of the match, both captains were asked if they would shake hands on Sunday. Pakistan skipper Salman Agha said, "We will see about it tomorrow."
"Cricket should be played in the right spirit. My personal opinion may not matter. But cricket should be played according to how it has always been meant to be played. It's up to them to decide what to do," he added.
Meanwhile, Suryakumar said, "Now wait for 24 hours for that. Why put so much focus on that? We have come to play cricket. We will play good cricket. We will take all those calls later tomorrow. Wait for it. Eat well and go to sleep."
