On the eve of the high - tension ICC Champions Trophy match against Pakistan at Edgbaston here on Sunday, India all - rounder Hardik Pandya on Saturday dismissed any undue pressure on the Virat Kohli - led side.
Pandya asserted that they will approach the match as any other ordinary One - Day International (ODI) and its in the best interest of the team that they do not get under any pressure.
"I think as a team we will take it as a normal game, it's best we don't take any unnecessary pressure.
It will be a normal game, we have to make sure we play the best cricket, " Pandya told BCCI's Twitter handle here.
While India have an all - win record against the arch - rivals in World Cups, Pakistan hold an edge over the men - in - blue in the Champions Trophy.
India have only managed to win once in their three meetings against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy.
