The next edition of the 20-20 World Cup is around the corner. Team India have already reached Australia for the mega event. On the other hand, Pakistan are currently busy playing the T20I tri-series in New Zealand. However, both these teams will clash with each other on 23 October 2022 in the World Cup.
Till the last year in the 20-20 World Cup, Pakistan were never able to defeat India in any matches of World Cups. But, since then, the Men in Green won two out of three games against the Men in Blue. Now, former Pakistani player, Shahid Afridi shared India’s approach under MS Dhoni when they used to defeat Pakistan easily.
“Unhone Pakistan ko side main rakh diya tha' : Shahid Afridi on MS Dhoni
While speaking to Samaa TV, Shahid Afridi said that India changed their overall approach under MS Dhoni’s captaincy. He added that India began to sideline Pakistan and wage a competition against Australia, England, and South Africa.
Afridi said: “Agar aap India ke team ko uthake dekhe, pichle kuch aarse main, Dhoni ke daur me agar aap dekhe toh unhone aapni approach ko change kardiya. Unhone Pakistan team ko...woh joh Pakistan-India hota tha woh khatam kardiya tha. Kyunki woh continuous jeetein jaa rahein the. Unhone soch badli apne, unhone Australia, England, South Africa...uss level pe unke jo top batsmen the unhone unke saath muqabla karna shuru kardiya tha. Unhone Pakistan ko, sorry to say, side main rakh diya tha.”
However, the former Pakistan captain said that things are currently changing as Pakistan changed its approach towards the agme. “Par aab woh cheez wapas aa rahein hain and of course wapas ayegi. Approach bohot important he to decide aap apne aap ko kis level me rakhna chahatein hain,” Shahid Afridi concluded. Speaking of their recent encounters, India and Pakistan met each other twice in the Asia Cup 2022. In the first match of the group stage, India defeated their arch-rivals. On the other hand, in the ‘Super Four’ stage, Pakistan managed to win the match.
