Even before the World Cup, the legendary player called Pakistan the champion, said – India…

New Delhi. World Cup 2023 is less than a month away. The ODI World Cup matches will be played in India from October 5 to November 19. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has said something big about the India-Pakistan match. Akhtar said that we are ready to avenge the defeat in 2011 and will also be successful in winning the trophy in Ahmedabad. We Pakistanis are already imagining this. The final of the World Cup is to be played at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. It is known that India defeated Pakistan by 29 runs in the semi-final of 2011 World Cup. After this, Team India also won the trophy under the captaincy of MS Dhoni. Pakistan team has not won the ODI World Cup title since 1992.

India and Pakistan will meet in the group round of the World Cup on October 14 in Ahmedabad itself. However, in the history of ODI World Cup, Pakistan team has not been able to beat India till now. Former veteran cricketer Shoaib Akhtar said that Pakistan has a golden opportunity to win the title, which will give the countrymen who are facing financial difficulties a chance to be happy. On the other hand, India has not managed to win a single ICC title since the 2013 Champions Trophy.

Pakistan will be completely alone
Shoaib Akhtar said in a program of Star Sports that Pakistan will be completely isolated in India. There will be no pressure on him. India will be under pressure to play in front of their home crowd. We will play better. He said all the stadiums will be packed and more than 2 billion people will watch it on TV or social media. Indian media will also put a lot of pressure on Pakistan. They will make it like Mahabharata. They have already declared India victorious. This kind of unnecessary pressure will happen before the match.

Two matches are possible in the Asia Cup
Currently Asia Cup 2023 is going on. India and Pakistan will clash in the Super-4 on Sunday, September 10. Both the teams may face each other in the final which will be held on 17th September. Shoaib Akhtar said that a month before the World Cup, the combination of the Indian team is not looking right. He said that India could not prepare its team properly in the last two years. The number four batsman is undecided. Which number will Virat play? Third, fourth or fifth. Ishan Kishan can play anywhere.

Commotion in Asia Cup, complaint reached Afghanistan Cricket Board, said officials should be punished

Shoaib Akhtar also expressed surprise over Yuzvendra Chahal not getting a place in the World Cup squad. He said that not liking Chahal is beyond my understanding. When the Indian team is bowled out for 150-200 runs, they increase the batsmen, but not the bowlers. What is the benefit of batting till number 8? If the top 5 batsmen can’t do anything, what will the 7th-8th batsmen do? India will lose a bowler.
