Babar Azam On The Need Of Staying Calm During India vs Pakistan Match
Meanwhile, ahead of the match, Pakistan’s batting superstar Babar Azam opened up about the need for remaining calm and composed during the India vs Pakistan clash, as many more things apart from cricket are involved in this rivalry.
“Look, as we discussed, an India–Pakistan match is always high-intensity. The whole world is involved — all the fans, both countries — and like you said, it feels like the entire world is watching. It then goes to a different level, and the expectations also rise to a completely different level,” said Babar in a video released by ESPNCricinfo.
He said it’s important to be honest and direct, and to ignore outside noise in order to perform at your best. He added, “We have played quite a few such matches, and we’ve learned that the calmer and more relaxed you keep yourself, and the less you listen to outside noise, the better it is. If you stay straightforward and focused, that helps a lot.”
“From our experience, we talk to the youngsters as well and tell them that yes, there is excitement, but the more you stay easy and tension-free, the better it will be for you,” said Babar.
Suryakumar Yadav On ‘Pressure’ Ahead Of India vs Pakistan Match
Talking about the pressure before an India-Pakistan match, Suryakumar Yadav said in the pre-match press conference: “There’s always pressure. With India-Pakistan, it’s more of an occasion. No matter how much we say ‘it’s just another game’, it’s human nature to feel the pressure because it isn’t just any other game. We don’t play them often either. So the pressure is always there.”
