KARACHI: Former England’s cricketer – Michael Vaughan termed the India-Pakistan rivalry as the biggest, also outweighed the Ashes.
Vaughan, while discussing the rivalry between the Asian neighbouring giants, referred to it as the ‘biggest game’.
“I think, we being England and Australia ex-players, we all kind of think of the Ashes as the biggest game in world cricket, it’s not! India vs Pakistan is the biggest game,” Vaughan said.
Vaughan also commented on the next match between the two sides in the ICC T20 World Cup on October 23, stating that it would be a real test for Rohit Sharma, the recently appointed Indian captain.
“Looking forward to Rohit Sharma being the captain, probably the first time he’s going to be under real pressure. It’s going to be an epic event,” he added.
Pakistan and India are set to lock horns on October 23 in their opening match of the 2022 World Cup at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
It’s worth noting that the T20 World Cup will commence on October 16 and will be held in seven venues across Australia. Whereas, India and Pakistan have been placed in Group 2 alongside South Africa, Bangladesh, winner of Group B, and runner-up of Group A.
