A cricket World Cup is incomplete without an India vs Pakistan face-off. Since the teams no longer engage in bilateral tourneys, the ICC events are the only platform where they challenge each other’s caliber with bat and ball. On Saturday, the Narendra Modi Stadium will witness one of the biggest cricketing battles of the year and the fans are super excited for the action to unfold in Ahmedabad. So is Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan.
Salman Khan, who is known for his love of cricket, has expressed his support for India ahead of the much-awaited clash. In a video shared by Star Sports India on X (formerly Twitter), Salman was seen sporting his Tiger look and saying, “8 ka wait” (waiting for 8). This is a reference to India’s perfect record against Pakistan in the ODI World Cup, with India having won all 7 matches played so far.
