Babar Azam does not believe that the outcome of the much-anticipated India-Pakistan clash in World Cup on Saturday will have an impact on his captaincy. The captains of both the teams feel pressure of the big-game, especially when losing isn't an option for fans from both sides of the border. Babar, though, looked unperturbed. "I never worry, that because of this match I will lose my captaincy. Whatever God has written for me - I will get. I will get what I deserve. I didn't get the captaincy because of one match and I will not lose it because of one match," Babar, who certainly wasn't amused with the question, replied with an air of disdain.

However, he travelled to Ahmedabad with the team and he even took part in a batting practice session on Thursday. This will be the Cricket World Cup debut for Gill who has impressed across all three formats in the past year.

India and Pakistan have faced each other 7 times in total and India have won all 7 matches. Shoaib then posted a picture of himself dismissing Sachin Tendulkar during a Test match but as the trolling continued, Akhtar decided to delete the post.
