- Babar Azam nervous before the game against India!
- Babar is seeing a lack in his own team
- India-Pakistan match on August 28 in the Asian Cup
Asian Cup 2022: The match between India and Pakistan is considered the biggest battle in the world of cricket. In the Asian Cup, on August 28, Pakistan has to face India in the big match. Ahead of this high-octane match, Pakistan captain Babar Azam looks nervous. He is missing the player who has already left him before taking the field for the biggest match of the Asian Cup.
Babar Azam remembered Shaheen Afridi
Pakistan captain Babar recalled his fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi in a pre-match press conference a day before the match against India. He believed his team would miss the lack of fast pitcher Shaheen Afridi. He said: “Of course. If Shaheen had played the game against India yesterday, things would have gone in our favor. But he is out now. But our other fast pitchers are very good and ready to do well for the team.
In the last match of the T20 World Cup in 2021, Pakistan defeated the Indian team by 10 wickets. The Indian team got this loss on the same field of the Dubai International Stadium where they have to face Pakistan in the next match. In the previous match, fast pitcher Afridi had eliminated Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli in a single spell. In such a situation, it is imperative that the Pakistan captain remember his fast bowling champion.
Match against India will not be one-sided – Babar
Pakistan had beaten India in the last T20 World Cup, but Babar believes Sunday’s match will not be as one-sided as last time. “To be honest, that game is now in the past. It won’t affect the game on Sunday. I’m focused on the game tomorrow. The teams are different, the circumstances are different. As a captain, I’m ready to give my 100 percent.
Nice to meet Indian players: Babar
Team players from India and Pakistan got together a lot during the practice session in Dubai. Videos of these meetings also went viral on social media. On these player talks, the Pakistan captain said that he likes to meet and interact with Indian cricketers. “Yes, we like to interact with them,” he said. As cricketers it is important that we do that. I think this is a pretty common thing. We do the same with other teams.
