With the India-Pakistan clash nearing its arrival, the banters and fun amongst the fans have started in full swing. In one of such recent instances, a Pakistan fan girl was seen asking Indian players and mentor MS Dhoni to not perform against Pakistan.
“Rahul, please don’t play good tomorrow. No, please don’t play good tomorrow,” she says while KL Rahul returns after a practice a session. After a few moments, Dhoni emerges in the scene. A question is thrown from the crowd, to which Dhoni is then seeing replying, “Humara kaam hi aisa hai.” The woman who asked Rahul to not perform then says to MSD, “Mahi just leave this match… in the next match. Not this match please.”

There is a huge possibility of 13-0 happening: Sourav Ganguly
BCCI President Sourav Ganguly is optimistic about India extending their unbeaten record against Pakistan in World Cups. Currently, India have a 12-0 lead – 7 in ODI World Cups and 5 in T20I World Cups – over their neighbours in ICC’s showpiece event.
The last time the two giants met, India registered an 89-run victory in the 2019 World Cup on the back of Rohit Sharma’s 140. Ganguly told ABP news,
“Yes, there is a huge possibility of 13-0 happening and India extending their unbeaten streak against Pakistan in this World Cup. All the players in this Indian team are genuine match-winners and fingers crossed, this team can finally end our 10 years wait of winning a world cup. Pakistan is also a good team. If one or two players click, then anything can happen. To win the mental battle is important. I feel it will be a great match!”
Other teams in India and Pakistan’s group are New Zealand, Afghanistan, Scotland, and Namibia.
