India skipper Rohit Sharma spoke highly of their arch rivals, Pakistan ahead of their clash in the ongoing Asia Cup 2023. Sharma noted that the Men in Green are a quality side and have been consistent in recent times.
Pakistan are the number-one ranked ODI team in the world. Notably, in the opening game of the Asia Cup, the Babar Azam-led side thrashed Nepal to win the match by 238 runs and with that, they moved an inch closer to the Super Four stage. Skipper Babar hit 151 runs, while Iftikhar Ahmed hit his maiden ODI century.
Rohit Sharma sheds praise on Pakistan
Rohit Sharma and co. have quite a task at their hands and it would be very difficult to beat Pakistan in Pallekele on Saturday, September 2. Here is what he said during the press conference:
“Pakistan are a quality side. They have been terrific in the last few years. Be it in the T20 World Cup or in bilateral series, they have done well. There’s a reason behind them being the number-one ranked team in ODIs. There’s a lot of hard work behind it. I’m sure they have worked really hard to be in this position and plus, they have a lot of unity in the team. They are in good form, so it will be a tough challenge for us to get the job done.
“However, we have prepared well. We have improved in certain areas. Hopefully, we will be able to apply the things we have planned in the match,” Rohit said in the pre-match press conference.
