But soon the Indian and Pakistani cricketers will move on from this friendly behavior to compete hard against each other. Not to forget, India will be eyeing revenge for losing the contest last year to Pakistan by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup 2021. That match turned out to be a rather-one sided contest with Pakistan outplaying Virat Kohli’s India in all departments.
However, this year, India looks in much better shape and form and will be a tough side to beat.
