Before the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan in the upcoming ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, legendary Indian batter Gautam Gambhir had a message for the audience. On October 14, Saturday, the game began at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Before the game, a sizable contingent of Indian fans assembled in front of the stadium, while few Pakistani cricket fans were present. Gambhir urged the crowd not to make fun of the Pakistani squad after the coin toss because they were in India to compete in the World Cup. Notably, Indian fans predominated the Ahmedabad Stadium because Pakistani spectators from across the border were unable to secure visas in time for the game.
Support your team, but remember that your visitors are there as guests, so be courteous to them. In an interview with Star Sports, Gambhir remarked, “We have to keep in mind that they are the guests and are here to play the World Cup.
Rohit Sharma, the captain of Ind, previously chose to bowl first against Pakistan after winning the toss.
India has a perfect 7-0 record versus Pakistan in head-to-head play. This meant that the “Men in Blue” have never suffered a World Cup defeat to their neighbors.
Shubman Gill is a member of India’s starting lineup, and they are the favorites to defeat Pakistan.
Ind star batter Shubman Gill was able to rejoin the playing XI after overcoming dengue, greatly enhancing the team’s performance. The 24-year-old was not present for either of the team’s first matches against Australia or Afghanistan.
Ind are the match’s favorites because they just defeated the five-time champions Australia and Afghanistan. Pakistan, who used the same side that helped them win their previous encounter, also won their two matches against the Netherlands and Sri Lanka.
