Ahead of the cricket cricket between India and Pakistan, testimonials from both countries’ former players on the cricket ground can now be seen on social media and YouTube. Such a statement came from former Pakistani player Danish Kaneria, who said about the forthcoming Indo-Pak clash at the Asian Cup that the Pakistani team seemed to have the upper hand in this game.
At the 2023 Asian Cup, India and Pakistan were placed in a B Group A. The match between the two teams will be played on September 2nd at Pallekele Stadium in Sri Lanka. In addition, two more Asian Cup meetings between the sides are on the cards if India-Pakistan manage to reach the final.
Discussing the match on his YouTube channel, Denmark’s Kaneria said that as things stand today, the Pakistani team seems to have the upper hand. Behind it, the playing team of India does not seem to have been fully clarified yet. It’s not clear which fast bowler will be included in the last 11. Aside from that, there are also some issues in the spin department. Chahal hasn’t looked impressive so far. In such a situation, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and Akshar Patel can be considered as the three main spinners. Should the fourth spinner be added to the team, then I think Ravi Bishnoi could prove to be a better option.
The return of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer to India’s Asian Cup team is all but certain. In such a situation, Danish Kaneria said that Rahul and Iyer continuously train at the National Cricket Academy. In such a situation, he will be included in the Asian Cup and the team, but from my point of view he should have played some games before coming back. In such a situation, it would not be the right decision to include him directly in the team.
