India will take on Pakistan in T20 World Cup
Everyone feels pressure of playing in India-Pakistan match: Misbah
Instead of taking pressure, Kohli takes motivation: Misbah
One of the most anticipated fixtures in the upcoming T20 World Cup to be held in the United States of India (USA) and the West Indies is the group stage match between India and Pakistan. It has been observed that whenever these 2 teams clash, the viewership records are broken. “Everyone feels the pressure of playing in the India-Pakistan match. Whenever I used to play against India, if the start was good, I was confident and comfortable that I would perform. It’s in the player’s muscle memory and mind that when you perform well, you really have a big impact on the match, and the position you are in during the match also has an influence,” former Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq said during an interaction with Star Sports.

During the previous clash of the two teams in a T20 World Cup, Pakistan seemingly had an advantage until a memorable knock by Indian batsman Virat Kohli ensured a victory in the last ball of the game to India. Currently questions are being raised on Virat Kohli’s strike rate in the lead up to the event. “Virat Kohli performed well in all the matches, against many teams, and especially against Pakistan. He played such an innings at a crucial stage that he caused a lot of damage to Pakistan. So even in Pakistan’s mind, there is a mentality, there’s a supremacy, and even in Kohli’s mind, he knows that he can perform well against Pakistan. He’s such a player that when the occasion is big, instead of taking pressure, he takes motivation from it. Whenever there was a pressure situation and the team was in a bad situation, I used to feel like I had to do something. And this is a factor in Virat as well, and he is a top-class cricketer. So to play against a team like India, like we did in the Champions Trophy, Pakistan or any team has to get him out early,” Misbah added.
