Match between India and Pakistan on 9th June Rashid Latif advised Babar to learn from Kohli The Indian team will face Pakistan in the T20 World Cup on Sunday.
New Delhi. The cricket teams of India and Pakistan will face each other on June 9 in the T20 World Cup. Predictions for this much-awaited match have become intense. Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif says that India is entering this match as a strong contender for victory. Because his team is more balanced than Pakistan. Latif also said that Pakistan captain Babar Azam will be under pressure in this much-awaited match in New York.
Former Pakistan wicketkeeper batsman Rashid Latif told PTI in a video, ‘All our focus is on the match against India (IND vs PAK) on June 9. Babar Azam will be under pressure because of the match against India rather than his good performance in the World Cup (T20 World Cup). But they have to learn to handle the pressure. He should learn from Virat and Rohit. They know how to take the game forward. As a batsman, Babar is among the best batsmen in the world but as far as captaincy is concerned, he still has a lot to learn.
‘Kuldeep Yadav can be a headache for batsmen’
Latif said that India have a lot of good spinners and given the current form, the Rohit Sharma-led team will start as strong contenders to win the match on Sunday. According to Rashid Latif, ‘Kuldeep Yadav is a player who, if he stays fit, can cause trouble for the batsmen throughout the World Cup. He is an important bowler for India and has also achieved good success. Looking at the current form, India will certainly start as favorites to win the match on June 9.
‘Pakistan’s preparations are not like 2021 or 2022’
Latif also said that Pakistan’s preparation this time is not like 2021 or 2022 when they reached the final of the T20 World Cup. He said, ‘Pakistan team has done well in ICC competitions but this time the team does not look as ready as in 2021 and 2022. After the loss in the ODI World Cup, the team suffered a lot and the captain and selection committee were changed. The team does not know who will open the innings from him. So far, every player he has tried as an opening batsman has failed.
