IND vs PAK: World number one T20 team India in the third match of Group ‘A’ of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on February 15 in Colombo R. will face arch-rivals Pakistan at the Premadasa Stadium.
World number one T20 team India in the third match of Group ‘A’ of ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 on February 15 in Colombo R. will face arch-rivals Pakistan at the Premadasa Stadium. Suryakumar Yadav’s team is considered the favorite after winning 7 out of 8 matches against Pakistan in T20 World Cup. But former captain Rohit Sharma does not believe in this ‘favourite’ title.
According to Rohit, cricket is a game where past success does not guarantee the outcome of the match. He said that the team that plays well on the given day will win. All teams have gained a lot of experience in T20 cricket over the past decade, so taking the opposition lightly can be dangerous. His warning – to get two points, you have to play your best game that day.
India’s only loss against Pakistan in ICC World Cup history came in the 2021 T20 World Cup, when Pakistan won by 10 wickets led by Babar Azam. Rohit was also in the Indian team in that match. That defeat is still fresh in the minds of cricket fans.
But recent statistics speak for India. India have won their last five T20 Internationals against Pakistan, including three in the Asia Cup and one each in the 2022 and 2024 T20 World Cups. So while the statistics put India ahead, Rohit’s message is clear — the field game is the last thing.
