Virat Kohli discusses India-Pakistan encounters. “When you get onto the pitch as a player, it’s like any other game. “The outside environment can entice you,” Virat said.
The rivalry between India and Pakistan has reached unprecedented heights in recent years. Pakistan defeated India in the 2021 T20 World Cup, whereas the Men in Blue had not performed well in key tournaments. As a result, the Rohit Sharma-led side is under considerable strain ahead of the forthcoming Asia Cup and ODI World Cup.
“I wouldn’t deny that the atmosphere outside the game is very, very different from other games.” You can’t really disregard what’s created on the outside. When you get onto the pitch as a player, it’s just like any other game. The outer environment can entice you. That is something for you to enjoy and be pleased about. Then it’s back to normal,” Virat Kohli said on Star Sports.

India kept on winning one-sided: Ganguly
Meanwhile, fans can watch India vs. Pakistan many times in 2023. They will play each other in the Asia Cup on September 2, and if both teams qualify for the Super 4, they will face again. If both teams make it to the finals, the spectators will be in for a treat. Following that, they will meet again in the ODI World Cup.
Sourav Ganguly has stated regarding their rivalry that it has become one-sided in recent decades.
“There is a lot of hype surrounding this match, but the quality has been low for a long time because India has been winning one-sidedly.” “In the T20 World Cup in Dubai, Pakistan most likely defeated India for the first time,” Ganguly added.
