After Abhishek Sharma’s explosive 74 off 39 balls and Shubman Gill’s rapid 47 off 28 set up India’s chase of 172, skipper Suryakumar Yadav made headlines with his post-match remarks on the so-called “India–Pakistan rivalry.”
“You guys should stop asking about the rivalry. If the two teams are playing 15–20 games & the scoreline is 7–7 or 8–7, then it is called rivalry. If the scoreline is 10–1 or 13–0, I don’t know the exact number but this is not a rivalry anymore” Indian captain said in the post-match press conference.
India have now beaten Pakistan in back-to-back matches of this Asia Cup, first in the group stage and now in the Super Fours, underlining their dominance in recent encounters.
