Unnecessary hype around this Ind-Pak match

[SK_IH]

• Inconsequential match
• Two ordinary sides in my opinion
• Missing the biggest star player across both sides

 

 So whats exactly the genesis behind the so called hype

I meant Virat, Pak has no star players.

It’s the media and Pakistani ex cricketers/current players who are hyping it as an all important clash it was fun 10 years ago when we had likes of Sehwag/Sachin/Gambhir/MSD/Dravid and co against their players current set of players are mediocre and ordinary.

In a way yes as it’s a super 4 stage where we play against BD,Afghanistan and Pakistan.

I guess we are now too busy in work for expressing our frustrations.
Plus we have Hindutva too

It's one of those matches that I simply don't want to pay attention to, but keep doing it anyway.

Bashir Chacha, on the other hand, said he will happy even if India wins and insisted "cricket is just cricket" at the end of the day.

"India and Pakistan game will happen every year. Last time we won [Champions Trophy final] and this time I will be happy if you win the game," Bashir said.                                                                                                                          Much respect for this gentleman's way of thinking. Mighty generous of him to sponsor his "rival"

thats right.

 

he used to wear a green with crescent outfit..nowadays he is having an Indian flag in the side too.. definitely a good gesture. Lots of respect for the guy, obviously he must be a successful business man in the west..but yeah nice touch.

How is India an oridinary side, even without Kohli they should be one of the best teams.I don't see other than England which team is better.

I specifically meant this Ind side with a non existent middle order.Ind has a potential of being a world beater provided right personnel are backed.

In so far as Pak is concerned, I maintain they are bang average side

KL Rahul should be in the side. No brainer. Cant believe Rayudu or Karthik is preferred ahead of him. Same for Pant ahead of Dhoni.

Rohit just showing how low class opponent are, by beating them with a team which struggled against Hongkong.

 

Could we not have given a walkover to Pakistan and still qualified in Super 4?

Since both sides beat HK, both had already qualified for S4

Totally unnecessary hype.
