Suryakumar Yadav: India vs Pakistan Not a Rivalry

Suryakumar dismisses rivalry talk

Suryakumar Yadav brushed aside the idea that India vs Pakistan is still a cricketing rivalry. After India’s latest win against Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super Four, he was asked if Pakistan had raised their standards compared to the first match.

β€œI would like to say one thing on this question. I feel that you should stop asking this question on the rivalry,” Suryakumar said before clarifying further.

He added:

β€œπ‘°π’‡ π’•π’˜π’ π’•π’†π’‚π’Žπ’” π’‘π’π’‚π’š 15-20 π’Žπ’‚π’•π’„π’‰π’†π’” 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅 π’Šπ’” 7-7 𝒐𝒓 8-7, 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 π’Šπ’” 𝒂 π’“π’Šπ’—π’‚π’π’“π’š.

India have now beaten Pakistan seven times in a row in men’s internationals since their last loss at the 2022 Asia Cup in Dubai.

The turning point of the game

Suryakumar also highlighted what he thought was the decisive phase of the match – Pakistan at 91 for 1 after 10 overs, their best-ever halfway score against India in T20Is.

β€œAccording to me, the turning point was in the first drinks break in the first innings,” he explained. β€œAfter that, our bowlers changed their line and length, added energy, and completely slowed Pakistan down.”

Between overs 10 and 17, Pakistan managed just 38 runs, the lowest tally by any side in this tournament during that phase.

Shivam Dube’s big contribution

While Jasprit Bumrah had an uncharacteristically expensive outing (4-0-45-0), allrounder Shivam Dube stepped up with a crucial spell.

Dube finished with 2 for 33, dismissing Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan, and breaking Pakistan’s strong 72-run stand. His effort helped India maintain their dominance in yet another clash with Pakistan.
