After a halt on the bilateral series between India and Pakistan, the fans now wait for the ICC events where they can see the arch-rivals clashing against each other. The Asia Cup 2023 is set to commence on September 30 and there the world cricket fans will once again see the heated clash of both countries. The match will be played on September 2 at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium.
As the excitement builds for this much-anticipated showdown, the captain of the Pakistan cricket team Babar Azam, has acknowledged the importance of the India-Pakistan rivalry. He highlighted that this rivalry is highly regarded by both fans and players and it looks like a source of enjoyment and intense competition. Azam said that whenever India and Pakistan play against each other, the players from both teams give their 100% effort.
“The India-Pakistan match has always been a rivalry. The entire world experiences the match and enjoys it. Even we enjoy it a lot. I feel that the level of cricket is very good and competitive. Fans miss the India-Pakistan match and both teams always give their 100 percent,” Babar said on Star Sports.
Babar has been phenomenal for the Pakistan cricket team since his debut, especially in the ODI format. He has played 103 ODI matches and he possesses an average of 58.45 where he got an achievement to quickly reach the 5000-run mark.
However, the skipper of Pakistan is yet to deliver in the ODI format against India. He has played five matches against the men in blue where he has only 158 runs to his name.
