As the ICC World Cup 2023 approaches, cricket fans around the world are eagerly anticipating the intense clashes that await them. The cricketing world’s attention is particularly drawn to the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan, traditionally known as the “mother of all battles.” However, former India captain Sourav Ganguly has expressed his belief that the clash between India and Australia holds even greater significance and excitement.
Speaking on Star Sports, Sourav Ganguly shared his thoughts on the much-debated topic. “There is a lot of hype, but the quality hasn’t been that great in the recent years,” Ganguly stated. While acknowledging the historical significance and rivalry of India vs Pakistan matches, Ganguly pointed out that the games have often lacked competitiveness, with India securing several one-sided victories in recent World Cups. Moreover, he highlighted that Pakistan has managed to defeat India only once, and that too in a T20 World Cup match
In contrast, Ganguly firmly believes that the clash between India and Australia holds greater weight and anticipation. “India vs Australia is a bigger match for me. The quality is better,” he emphasized. The rivalry between these two cricketing powerhouses has intensified over the years, producing numerous memorable encounters across all formats of the game.
Adding to the excitement, India will face Australia in their opening match of the ICC World Cup 2023 on October 8 in Chennai. This encounter sets the stage for what promises to be a thrilling contest between two highly skilled teams. The match is expected to draw significant attention from fans and pundits alike, given the stature of the teams and their recent clashes.
