India will start its Asia Cup title defence in a much-anticipated clash with the arch-rivals in Dubai on Sunday. Indian skipper Rohit Sharma said what the team needs to achieve as a group is more important than the opposition. "First game on (August) 28th. We will try to be in the present. Preparation-wise, we will not be short. We are not looking at the opposition at all. What we need to achieve as a group is more important than the opposition. We have to think of this as just another opposition who we want to beat and do well against. It is going to be challenging no doubt. We will have to be up for it," said Rohit in a video posted by BCCI, which also featured other members of Team India in it. Virat Kohli also said that as a player, it is like any other game for him.
Absence of top pacers has become a talking point leading up to today's gameLike it happens before and after India-Pakistan matches these days, one tweet has triggered a major debate. A few hours after Pakistan's ace fast bowler Shaheen Afridi was ruled out of the Asia Cup due to a knee injury, Pakistan pace bowling great Waqar Younis tweeted: "Shaheen's injury big relief for Indian top order batsmen. Sad we won't be seeing him."
India captain Rohit Sharma has a reputation of coming up with funny responses in press conferences and has often left the room in splits with his quick wit. On the eve of India's Asia Cup 2022 clash against arch-rivals Pakistan, Rohit attended a press conference and was asked about India's opening combination for the much awaited clash. In recent times, India have experimented with the likes of Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav at the top of the order, while Virat Kohli has in the past opened with Rohit Sharma.

While Indian and Pakistani cricketers share a cordial relationship off the field, sometimes things have got heated out in the middle...Kiran More vs Javed Miandad, Sydney 1992Bully of Baroda and champion sledger Kiran More vs the King of Karachi, the ultimate street fighter, Javed Miandad. They went at each other in the first-ever World Cup match between the two Asian giants. More was constantly chatting behind the stumps and appealing excessively, irritating the Pakistan great who was struggling with his timing. After a failed run out effort from More, Miandad mocked the Indian wicketkeeper's style of appealing by jumping up and down in comic fashion!
In recent years, India have had an answer to every question posed by Pakistan in multilateral events, right up until last year's T20 World Cup, when it was the men in green who triumphed instead in dominant fashion. TOI traces past contests and looks at how history might impact today's match...One hundred and fifty two for no loss in 17. 5 overs. Certain numbers hurt you like no other if you are an Indian cricket tragic. It was Pakistan's uncharacteristically composed riposte to an underwhelming 151/7 by India in the 2021 T20 World Cup opener in Dubai's Ring of Fire.

Skipper Babar Azam and deputy Mohammed Rizwan underlined the domination that was triggered by Shaheen Shah Afridi's quick, lethal twin strikes that consumed Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul.
