What Did Harbhajan Singh Say?
The former Indian cricketer said, ‘The match between India and Pakistan is being blown out of proportion because I don’t see any strength in this match. India is a very strong team and Pakistan’s performance has never been consistent. If you look at the players and past records of both the teams, the Indian team seems to have an upper hand. Team India will achieve a one-sided victory.’
Pakistan Will Have An Upper Hand – Mohammad Yousuf
At the same time, former Pakistani batter Mohammad Yusuf said about the India-Pakistan match, ‘As far as the India-Pakistan match is concerned, there is no doubt that the Indian team is very balanced and the Pakistan team will face a tough challenge.
