An India-Pakistan game is more about the occasion – Suryakumar Yadav

As India gear up for a major challenge against their arch-rivals, Pakistan, in the latest iteration of the ICC T20 World Cup, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav highlighted the Men in Blue’s approach ahead of the crucial encounter.

Talking in the pre-match presser, SKY opened up on massive occasion that it is for both the teams, while underlining the importance of being present in the moment.

Shedding light on the game, SKY said, “When you play an India-Pakistan game, it is more about the occasion. It is a platform. You can say what you want, like it's just another game. But you know which game you are going to play. And we don't play them often regularly."

Underlining the importance of staying in the moment, SKY added, “You have to start from zero. What you did in the past, historically, you can't carry that to the ground because then sometimes it can lead to complacency. You might go ahead of the game. If you want to be in control and want to keep a relaxed mind, then you have to always have a fresh start.”

He concluded by stating, “So, personally, I feel that will be a better approach for us tomorrow - to treat it as a fresh game, a normal league game we have come to play in a T20 World Cup because then you stay fresh, take good calls and stay relaxed."
