The excitement around the India vs Pakistan tie in the T20 World Cup 2024 is palpable all around New York. Ticket prices are at all time high and cricket fans are doing everything they can to get hold of a ticket of the game. However, the cricketers that will be playing the game are as much excited as the cricket lovers. Pakistan captain Babar Azam on this match is something that cricketers look forward to.
World waits for IND vs PAK tie
Babar Azam knows the excitement that this tie invokes. “Poori duniya iss cheez ka intezar karti hai (the whole word waits for this),” Babar Azam said on Star Sports.
Different kind of pressure: Babar Azam
More than skills, the ability to handle pressure becomes more important during the match. And Babar Azam is no stranger to this fact.
“It’s a different kind of pressure, to control the nerves. You learn that from experience, the more you play…especially in Pakistan-India matches. Woh hum pehle sunte te, ab hum khel rahe hain (first we used to hear about it, now we play). That’s a different vibe. It’s a big match and we always enjoy it,” he said.

Notably, Pakistan have a very poor record against India when it comes to facing them in the T20 World Cup. Out of the seven India vs Pakistan matches played in T20 World Cups over the years, India have won six of them. Babar would definitely like to improve the record when the two sides meet on Sunday.
