India are set to clash against Pakistan in the Asia Cup on 28 August 2022. All eyes will be on Virat Kohli, who is set to return after an extended rest where he did not participate in the series against West Indies and Zimbabwe.
Speaking ahead of the tournament, former selector Saba Karim said that while the focus will be on Kohli and Babar in the game, the performance should not decide who is better among the two.
“Asia Cup won’t decide who is the better among the two (Kohli and Babar). I feel the bigger stage will be the T20 World Cup where they have a chance to perform against the bigger teams and help their team win silverware,” Karim said on India News Sports.
“Virat always relishes the opportunity to play against Pakistan because he is always keen on winning big games for his team. When he prepares accordingly, it reflects in his performances,” said Sharma, who was a part of the same panel.
“The same goes with Babar, who has a good record against India. So both teams will know that if they want to win the game. Getting these two out early will be crucial,” he concluded.
