Ahead of the game, Indian stars such as Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya spoke about the games against Pakistan and what can one expect.

"First game on 28th, we will try and be in present. Preparation wise, we have not been short.

It is going to be a challenging one so we have to be up for it," said Rohit in a video uploaded on official website of BCCI.

Talking about the contest, Suryakumar Yadav said: "Obviously, when I was growing up, there was a lot of talk around the India-Pakistan games and people say it is the greatest rivalry. But when we go out to the field, it is just another game. When you enter the field, all our preparation and routine we do, reflects on the ground. I just try and stay in my zone when I enter the field."
