India and Pakistan matches are watched by millions. While the Men the Green had a good track record again India, the situation has completely changed in the last few years.
The two teams recently met in the Asia Cup 2022 with India winning the first encounter by 5 wickets at the Dubai International Stadium.
Pakistan came back hard in the second game and thumped the Rohit Sharma-led team by 5 wickets in the Super 4 stage of the tournament.
Mohammad Rizwan, who was the highest run-scorer in the recently concluded Asia Cup, was afraid of watching India-Pakistan matches because of Sachin Tendulkar.
“I used to be scared when Pakistan played against India. I used to think that I like Sachin Tendulkar but how do I cheer for him when he’s making runs against our nation,” he told Cricbuzz.
Rizwan was criticised for his slow batting by former players, especially in the final where he scored at a strike-rate of 112 as Sri Lanka defeated Pakistan by 23 runs.
