Sunday, in the Dubai International Stadium, India will play their first encounter of the Asia Cup, which will be against their bitter rivals Pakistan. This will be the first time that these two teams have competed against one another since Pakistan defeated India by a score of 10-wickets at the same stadium during the 2021 T20 World Cup.

KL Rahul, the vice-captain of India’s cricket team, stated on Friday during a press conference that the squad’s loss to Pakistan the previous year had left a lasting impact on them. He also conceded that India had been “outplayed” in the match.

“Yes, without a doubt. It doesn’t matter which game you lose in the World Cup; it always stings a little bit. We were playing our first game of the World Cup the year before, and we couldn’t contain our excitement. Every team that competes in the World Cup hopes to get off to a strong start, but we were not lucky enough to have that happen to us “Rahul remarked.

According to what he had to say, “We were outplayed by a pretty powerful Pakistan team.”

Rahul continued by stating that the team is excited to play Pakistan once more and stated that the history between the two teams will not matter much until they are competing against one another on the field.

“Yes, we will have the chance to compete against them once more, and since it is a game that we are all anticipating, we are all excited to get out there and give it our best shot. The game begins with no history, and while there may have been previous play, it has no bearing on the current state of affairs. It will never begin with anything else than zero “Rahul stated.

The other team in Group A in the group stage is Hong Kong, who emerged victorious in the preliminaries earlier this week. Along with India and Pakistan, Hong Kong will compete in the group stage.
