Former Indian skipper Sachin Tendulkar is backing India to perform exceptionally well against Pakistan. Men in Blue haven’t lost to Pakistan in the history of World Cup with six of previous meetings going in India’s favour.
However, India were defeated by Pakistan when they met last time in an ICC event. Pakistan won the Champions Trophy after thumping India by 180 runs in the finale of the event.
“That’s a positive comeback [Champions Trophy win in 2017]. After having been 6-0 down, the last one that they [Pakistan] had won. Indian team wouldn’t be overconfident. We are confident but we won’t be overconfident. I can fully understand that Ravi [Shastri], Virat [Kohli] and all the senior players would be emphasizing that we got to be on our toes, go out and play what we are good at,” said Sachin.
He further added that India are better than Pakistan at the moment and the amount of success they have tasted in the recent times speak about the talent this team has.
“I think when you are winning you are thinking different, but we, as a team, always think that we can’t be overconfident. Pack those confident things in the kitbag and travel with it. The team which is winning invariably the thought process is different and you believe you can pull through difficult situations,” he added.
