What did Rohit say before the match?

There is a different kind of pressure in the match against Pakistan but Rohit believes that this match is also like any other match. On the eve of this great match, Indian captain Rohit Sharma was not sure whether Shardul Thakur should be retained in the team or Ravichandran Ashwin should be replaced in his place. Rohit was asked in the press conference whether he would go with three spinners on this wicket.

He said that to be honest, I do not know. If changes are needed we will make them. We will be ready for this. Players have already been informed about such changes. So I don't think there is any issue with the players regarding this. The Indian captain said that but if there is a need to play with three spinners, then we will play three spinners.

Will Gill play?

Rohit Sharma said that opener Shubman Gill is fully ready to make a comeback. He is 99 percent available for the match. Gill also practiced hard on Friday and was looking in good shape. Looking at the way he faced the bowlers in the net, it did not seem that he was hospitalized last Sunday due to dengue.

The winning streak started in 1992

The World Cup war between India and Pakistan started in 1992. India faced Pakistan for the first time in the World Cup at the Sydney Cricket Ground and won by 43 runs. After four years, Pakistan again faced India. Pakistan had lost in this match also.

When the two countries faced each other in the World Cup 1999 in Manchester, there was a different kind of feeling. This competition was taking place in the shadow of Kargil war. Indian and Pakistani fans were not going to be satisfied with anything other than victory. Players from both the countries did not get carried away by extreme nationalistic sentiments and played an unexpected match of cricket.

By the time of World Cup 2003, Tendulkar's talent had completely blossomed. This Mumbai batsman played brilliant shots against Pakistan's fast bowling trio of Akram, Shoaib Akhtar and Younis in Centurion. Both the teams could not face each other in the 2007 World Cup and were eliminated from the league stage itself. India was co-hosting the World Cup in 2011. There was a semi-final match against Pakistan in Mohali. Tendulkar had passed his peak but he once again laid the foundation of India's victory by playing a brilliant innings.

Pakistan had to taste the new India in the World Cup 2015. Team India scored 300 runs for seven wickets with Kohli's brilliant innings of 107 runs and half-centuries from Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina. Fast bowler Mohammed Shami took four wickets due to which Pakistan was bundled out for 224 runs. In 2019, Pakistan had to face the stormy attitude of Rohit who played an inning of 140 runs in 113 balls. Kohli (77) and Lokesh Rahul (57) also scored half-centuries.
