When India and Pakistan play each other in the T20 World Cup climax on June 9, former all-rounder Yuvraj Singh hopes his country can maintain its supremacy over its bitter rivals. Pakistan has only triumphed over India in ODI and T20 World Cups, and that victory was in the 2021 T20 World Cup. India has defeated Pakistan in all of their World Cup matches except for that one. A “crazy” distinction between the supporters of India and Pakistan was also highlighted by Yuvraj, the 2007 T20 World Cup winner.
“Well, it’s a game of emotion. If we win, we’ll go crazy. If we lose, we’ll go crazy. But the thing is, if we win, they will go crazy with us. If we lose, they will go crazy with us. That’s the difference,” Yuvraj told the ICC at the opening of Fan Park in New York.
One of the T20 World Cup 2024 ambassadors, Yuvraj, expressed the hope that Indian players would be able to put their emotions aside during their match against Pakistan, arguing that concentration on the game will help them win.
“However, I believe the guys are giving it their all in every game, whether it’s against Pakistan or India.” Simply said, I think the team with superior emotional regulation that day and a laser-like focus on the game scenario will emerge victorious. We’ve performed better than Pakistan over the past few years. And maybe we can carry on with it,” he continued.
On the other hand Team India had beaten Bangladesh in their only practice game which was played on Saturday.
