Former India batter Virender Sehwag feels that the side that deals well with pressure between India and Pakistan well, ends up as winners as well. However, the match will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on Sunday, October 23.

While talking about that, Virender Sehwag said on Cricbuzz: “Everyone wishes to see a contest between these two sides, there won’t be an empty seat. The side who handles pressure better usually ends up winning. Babar Azam’s side has handled pressure well on several occasions, it is good for the rivalry, it should not be one-sided.”

Meanwhile, Former cricketer Ajay Jadeja believes the Men in Blue are the better side out of the two. He said during the same interaction: “The matches are more fun to watch if it is evenly contested. Now, the pressure in both sides. Pakistan may have won two of the last three matches against their rivals, but I still believe India are the better side in comparison. There is absolutely no doubt about that. I doubt we will ever witness a larger crowd than this for an India- Pakistan contest. Also, this is happening at a time where the players have largely been playing without crowds. No player might have experienced the amount of pressure such as this one.”
