In my opinion, if two teams play 15-20 games, and if it’s even, then it’s a rivalry. 10-0, 10-1, I don’t know what statistics is, but it is no longer a rivalry. I think we played a better cricket than them (Pakistan), and also from a bowling point of view, “he said, referring to the dominant head to head record in T20is, which is now 12-3.India has faced certain implementation challenges during the Pakistan rounds, with several drops that have fallen very early.

Yadav praised the composure and the awareness of the opening game: “He is very altruistic. He can beat in the same way after the PowerPlay. But he analyzes it beautifully. He learns every day. “He also praised the opening duo, saying: “They are ice and fire. They complement each other very well.”On the team’s strategy, he explained the decision to move first after winning the draw: “When we played on the 14th, the counter was better from the point of view of the striker. The counter improved.”India’s bowling heroism has also received praise, the four Overs of Shivam Dube turning the match in favor of India. “The fate of Shivam Dube was the turn. He played all his quota and he was very happy,” added Yadav. Dube claimed the main counters of the Pakistani opener Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub to alleviate the flow of races at the start of the sleeves.

Victory has not only reinforced the position of India in the Super Four, but also showed the balance between the boost and the bowling alley in their team, Suryakumar choosing to focus on performance rather than rivalry.
