Shadab Khan, in an exclusive interview with Cricket Pakistan, acknowledged the heightened excitement leading up to the World Cup, but emphasized that facing India brings a different level of pressure. He expressed his preference for winning the entire tournament rather than solely focusing on defeating their arch-rivals.
Shadab, 24 years old, mentioned that playing against India brings a unique sense of joy, but it also entails a different kind of pressure. As they will be playing on India’s home ground, the crowd will be against them. However, he emphasized the importance of approaching the match within the context of the World Cup as a whole, rather than solely fixating on the India-Pakistan encounter. Shadab highlighted that winning against India and losing the World Cup would be of no benefit. In his opinion, even if they were to lose against India but ultimately win the World Cup, it would be a win-win situation because their primary goal is to secure the championship.

While India-Pakistan matches are known for their intense rivalry and tension, Shadab has a different perspective, focusing on the larger goal. In terms of the head-to-head stats between Pakistan and India in the ODI World Cup, the record tilts in India’s favor, with India emerging victorious in all seven encounters between the two teams in the tournament’s history.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
