Pakistan and India are two quite popular rivals in terms of battling each other in sports, especially cricket. Last year Pakistan won the very match against India and played profoundly well in the world cup 2021. People even started the comparison, Virat Kohli vs Babar Azam, to decide the best cricketer between the two. Now that ICC has put Pakistan and India in the same group again for the T20 world cup 2022, the citizens of both nations are getting hyped again. Pakistanis expect the same performance as before, and Indians want the team to crush its rival. People are even discussing the previous victory to keep the excitement alive.
