Asia Cup: The Indian team is fully prepared for the Asia Cup. For this, the Indian team has left for Sri Lanka today. Now the mind game regarding Asia Cup 2023 has also started. India’s first match will be played with Pakistan, because Nepal, India and Pakistan are in the same Group A. Now the mind game has started regarding this. Former Pakistan captain Salman Butt said that apart from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, India’s batting line-up is very fragile and if they lose these two batsmen early in the game, Pakistan can easily win the match. Butt has given this statement on his YouTube channel. In this, apart from Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, he has told the lack of experience in other players. Also he further added that India has won only those games when Virat Kohli or Rohit Sharma have played exceptionally well. When others are in charge, they usually struggle.
Pakistan team was described as bigger than Indian team
Butt said in his conversation that the core of Babar Azam’s team is bigger than India’s, so they will have an advantage in this series. Pakistan team has very talented players like Babar, Rizwan, Fakhar, Shadab, Shaheen and Haris Rauf. In my opinion, Pakistan is a stronger team than India. He also said that India’s match winners include Jadeja, Shami, Bumrah, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli.
Took a dig at IPL
Former Pakistan player Butt took a dig at the Indian Premier League (IPL) and said that the Indian team will be under a lot of pressure considering the high level of expectations. Pakistan team will benefit from this. India’s players lack the expertise to take part in such high-risk matches, as they have not played Pakistan for a long time for whatever reason. Butt has said that whether playing IPL in the morning, afternoon or evening, it does not bring the same pressure as during the IND vs PAK match. Let us tell you that the match between India and Pakistan will be played on 2nd September.
