Gavaskar made this prediction prior to the semi-final match between India and England at the Adelaide Oval. He stated that if Pakistan were to go on to win the tournament, then Babar Azam would become the Prime Minister of Pakistan in the year 2048.
On Sunday, the T20 World Cup championship match between Pakistan and England will take place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Babar Azam will lead the Pakistani side. There has been an uncanny similarity between the team’s performance in the ongoing tournament and Pakistan’s triumph in the 50-over World Cup in 1992, which Imran Khan led Pakistan to victory in. The tournament is currently in progress.
In addition to the numerous memes and jokes that have been created regarding the similarities between the two World Cup campaigns, Sunil Gavaskar, a former captain of India’s cricket team, recently made a remark that has everyone in fits of laughter.
Gavaskar made this prediction prior to the semi-final match between India and England at the Adelaide Oval. He stated that if Pakistan were to go on to win the tournament, then Babar Azam would become the Prime Minister of Pakistan in the year 2048.
Michael Atherton and Shane Watson both laughed out loud in response to this comment.
Gavaskar stated on Star Sports that Babar Azam would become Prime Minister of Pakistan in the year 2048 if Pakistan were to win the World Cup. “You know what, if Pakistan do win the World Cup,” Gavaskar said.
Imran Khan led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 50-over World Cup, which bears a striking resemblance to the competition that is currently taking place and which Pakistan won while Imran Khan was the captain of the team. The summit match will take place on Saturday.
The odds were stacked against Pakistan in that competition as well, but the team pulled off an incredible comeback to win the event and carry the championship back home.
Wasim Akram was the player that made a performance that won the match for Pakistan when they competed against England in the final of the World Cup in 1992. The contest was between Pakistan and England.
Before playing England in the T20 World Cup final, skipper Babar Azam was questioned about the similarities between this tournament and the one that took place in 1992.
“There are, without a doubt, some parallels to be found. We are going to give our best effort to win the trophy; it is a great honour for me to be the captain of our team, especially here at this impressive arena. We are going to make the effort to win while giving it one hundred percent.
We got off to a rough start, but once we did get going, our squad came back strong and fought like tigers. We will look to move forward from here, and we will look to perform to the best of our abilities “remarked Babar at a news conference held prior to the match.
At the beginning of their campaigns for both the World Cup in 1992 and the World Cup in 2022, Pakistan was defeated at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In each of the events, Pakistan was defeated by India, and India was the team that defeated them.
The parallels go even deeper when you consider that Pakistan was only one point away from missing out on a spot in the semifinals on the very last day of competition in both competitions.
