IND vs PAK LIVE – Asia Cup 2022 LIVE, KL Rahul Press Conference LIVE: KL Rahul is super confident about India’s chances at the Asia Cup. While he stayed silent on the combinations, he is aiming for a revenge against Pakistan. He also added that Team India is ready for the big Pakistan clash.
On India vs Pakistan clash:
We always look forward to India vs Pakistan clash as we don’t play each other anywhere else but these big tournaments. So, it’s always an exciting time & a great challenge for all of us to compete against a team like Pakistan.
There might be history of how many times we played & each team won but it doesn’t count for anything. It’ll always start from 0. Either will want to start really well.
KL Rahul on India’s aggressive approach:
It’s great to see the new approach of Indian team, started after the last world cup, following the words of captain by everyone, we are hoping to continue this.
On Virat Kohli’s Form:
We all want Virat Kohli to get back in form, we’re not worried about it. His mindset always remains the same, to win matches for India and he’s done that for many years. Virat Kohli is World class player. He doesn’t get affected by what people see from outside. The standard Virat Kohli has set, he is hungry and wants to win matches for the country.
We don’t really give much importance to comments. It doesn’t really affect a player, especially a world-class player like Virat will not be affected by what people are saying on the outside. He has had a little break & he is working on his game.
On Shaheen Afridi’s absence:
Shaheen Afridi is a world class bowler. It would’ve been a nice experience for us had he been playing, but unfortunately, he’s injured and ruled out.
