Since the 2025 Champions Trophy will be held next month, both teams will treat the T20I and the ODI as preparation for the upcoming mega-event. The Jos Buttler-led side, who is known for their aggressive approach, will aim to improve their strategies and test themselves against a formidable India side.

The Suryakumar Yadav-led side will aim to repeat their heroics before the mega-event. With Mohammed Shami returning to the national after a long injury layoff India's bowling attack looks more formidable.

Although the on-field rivalry might be intense Buttler's heartwarming gesture shows how cricket can unite and inspire fans beyond boundaries.
