"When it's 13-0 or 10-1, it's not a rivalry anymore": Suryakumar Yadav

Do you agree with Suryakumar Yadav when he says that the India-Pakistan rivalry is no more?

I would be extremely disappointed if we lose both games against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, not with these losses against India. What exactly have we done that we can suddenly leapfrog to competing with Australia, England, South Africa and New Zealand? We can't right? Then how do we fans expect Pakistan to play well against India, who will actually beat two of these teams handily in a five match series.

Our players also need to understand their limitations and strategize properly rather than try to blast batsmen out, when you are not even in the top five bowling attacks in the world.

I don't think a rivalry 80 years in the making is suddenly going to disappear because we've had the clear upper hand for 15 or so.

Personally, I rarely watch a T20 game but for this one, I made the time so obviously I'm still interested.

For 20 Alex Ferguson tears, it was total Manchester United domination over Liverpool. Look at how the teams stand today!

It's less likely in this rivalry given all the advantages in population, economy, governance, structural foundation etc. that India possesses but you never know. Takes just charismatic superstar to turn things around sometimes.

It's a political rivalry, not a sporting rivalry. So this hype will always be there, specially if Pakistan plays okay in flashes. But expecting this to be a relevant rivalry in this particular tournament where one team is languishing at the bottom of the rankings is pure vibes.

SKY on Pakistan vs India rivalry:

"You guys should stop asking about the rivalry. If the two teams are playing 15-20 games & the scoreline is 7-7 or 8-7, then it is called rivalry. If the scoreline is 10-1 or 13-0, but this is not a rivalry anymore."

Pakistan statement: India lost 4 wickets in the match. That is a huge loss for them. It was the excellent performance by our bowlers who brought down four batsmen who were supposed to be technically and on paper superior to our bowlers.
Hence, we would like to claim victory

Yeah it's a fun sideshow at this point.

Indians don't seriously go into these matches worrying about a defeat anymore but there's still those butterflies given the political context. Enough to keep the rivalry alive even from a sporting perspective.

Pakistan needs to take some lessons from these two games after having played a top team and make tweaks/modifications accordingly, as this is all a build up to the T20WC 2026.
 
Kohli was partly responsible for dilution of this rivalry. Pak players worshipping him has certainly taken the edge even though India has become a better team. Also Pakistan was somehow a good side against other teams as well during Kohli's peak. Now they are ranked alongside other minnow teams in a couple of formats. In ODIs mid tier team. Even they might slide there in the near future.

Not that Pakistan can't win the odd game if everything breaks in your favour but I'm not sure what tweaks you can make in a year that will make a genuine difference.

The gap in skill, intent, application and confidence is so high today that it'll take a long time and huge changes to bring any form of parity.

Pakistan has bigger problems than India match. India has beaten several teams over the last 12 months. So losing to India is no big deal. But what pakistan should worry about is the bigger picture prepping the side for world cup. A week or 10 days back Pak fans were talking about persisting with the same team for 10 or 15 matchecs. Look at them now. A whole sale change out of panic. If this trend continues they will be more confused in 6 months than they are now. That is what they should worry about more than beating India.
 
Depends how you define rivalry.

If purely based on results - he has a point. Rivalries should have a good split of the results.

If based on eyeballs that these games get - it’s still very much a rivalry. You don’t play us bilaterally but make sure we in the same group every tournament? That doesn’t happen when there’s no rivalry

Get a working middle-order, one that doesn’t get crippled by Salman Agha, Hussain Talat and Mohammad Nawaz.

Minor tweaks within their limitations.

The way they panicked and threw out Hassan Nawaz is not a great look. The first thing this management needs to accept is that they are playing like a bottom ranked side, and then progress can be made.

If Pakistan consistentl dominates SENA teams (may be except Australia) in LOI they will challenge India way better. Unfortunately Pakistan faces some B string SENA team mostly. So they don't get challenged. In the CT they got exposed. They need to improve their record against SENA team first. Because they play India only in big tournaments. Playing against India often can make you better. When that is not an option your next best option is to play other good teams a lot get better. Playing UAE, Oman, Afghanistan will absolutely get you nowhere. You can play 100 matches win 99 of them you will still be at the same place.
 
What I do really admire is the confidence of this Indian team.

It takes balls to make big statements and claims when there is a possibility, albeit a tiny one, that you can still end up losing in the final to the same team. But this Indian team is not treading carefully. That’s impressive

The eyeballs are only because people still watch India Pakistan due to the political angle. As an Indian, I don’t ever want us to lose to Pakistan, period and we take satisfaction from beating Pakistan. They are not cricketing rivals anymore (SENA matches are much more competitive), but more political rivals.

Having said that and acknowledging there is no cricketing rivalry left anymore, it is one thing for a layman like me to say it & another for Sky to say it on TV. You just can’t disrespect your opponent.

Reason can be whatever. Pakistan and India rivalry always had a political angle to it - never did it not. Why didnt Pakistan have the same rivalry with any other team whom they had a good split of results? Of course its political.

The fact that feel that way confirms that this rivalry is very much alive. It definitely is lopsided when looking at the results in recent years, but it still triggers those emotions in fans.

Doesn't work like that. You can't suddenly find a middle order and have it ready for the World Cup. Takes years of build-up and a bunch of talent knocking at or threatening to break the door down.

There's stuff you can do to get the team better but it'll take judgement, patience and investment. None of these are in ample supply in the current Pakistani cricket setup.

You're right, but I also think Pakistan were a bit unlucky in the CT to lose two key players like Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub. The latter was in excellent form prior to the tournament and had already scored runs against quality attacks like Australia and South Africa.

IMO this Pakistan side can do much better in South Africa, especially with bowlers like Shaheen who thrive when there’s pace and bounce in the pitch. Even someone like Haris Rauf can be a much tougher bowler to face on fast, bouncy tracks such as the MCG. Playing weaker teams is something they definitely need to avoid though because it gives them a false sense of security, the wrong lessons and perhaps even makes them rely on certain things that may not work against top-quality sides.

I won't say that they are a great side, and they are still going to lose to teams like India, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand on most days, but they are capable of great performances. And in ICC tournaments it's more about peaking at the right time then being the best team on-paper. They still need to get their act together though.

Very reasonable take. I agree, on a sporting level it hasn't been a rivalry for a very long time. But you never heard someone like Kohli disrespect the Pakistan team like this, eventhough no single batsman in recent memory has dominated them as much as him, or played as many match-winning knocks against them.

You need to find better performing middle-order batters in T20 cricket, who will score at a good pace and keep the scoreboard ticking.

Neither Salman nor Talat have great PSL records, but Hassan Nawaz did in the middle order. Throwing him out is not the right way to go.
 
Pakistan is just one win away from making this a rivalry again. Historically, Indian captains kept their composure and didn’t let the Hindutva politics bleed onto the field. But looks like the clownery has finally crept into the new Indian players.
 
I recall once Dhoni was asked about India's unbeaten record against Pakistan in World Cups and how dominant it was. And his response was simply along the lines of, nothing lasts forever, and that all records are meant to be broken. Eventhough I'm sure this presser was before or after India thrashed Pakistan in some World Cup match. That's the difference between a real captain and professional, and someone who is desperate to be liked by the fans.

First of all, don't call it a political rivalry, Pak as country is nothing in front of India w.r.t any aspects be it economy, be it army and defence, be it finance, be it education, be it sports, be it medicine..etc, there is no department pakistan is competing against India to call it a Rival..only thing that make you relevant is your terrorists whose only job is to destabilize India with the support of Pakistan army.. both in the battle ground as well as cricket ground, we have blasted you to the core frequently.. whatever happening is a political tensions at the aftermath of pahalgam attack by pak terrorists..if such event did not occur, India would have watched this match just as one another match with any associate nation..thats the reason we despise the ICC and BCCI for making business out of peoples emotion..this tournament could have been postponed till the tension settled down, so that cricket can be watched as cricket..but these greedy people wants to milk money from us..
 
sl bd afghanistan amtches were more exciting this asia cup as it was difficult to predict result before the match. Pakistan sri lanka could be exciting
 
People confuse sports rivalry

India-Pakistan sports rivalry is deeply rooted in a shared, complex, and often hostile history. It has little to do with the recent record or overall H2H between the teams.

No matter what they say publicly, given a choice between Australia and Pakistan, an Indian fan would not want to lose to Pakistan and vice versa

Well then as captain he needs to man up too. It's interesting to imagine what Rohit and Kohli would've done if they were around as captains and this no-handshake order came. I honestly can't see them doing something so petty purely for show.

He’s speaking facts, is SKY.

Except that that it’s not just facts, Gautam Gambhir & co are playing the role of puppet masters, with a non cricket agenda, and forcing a weak captain to politicise a charged situation.
 
Watching Surya's edits with song ''underworld me jigra yaara naam ka'' are so funny. Guy cannot buy a run and just because of these statements he is a hero now in reels world.
Modi g unemployment khatam karo yaar.
 
Sky should score some runs for a change and not indulge in this political nonsense.

The way he got dismissed for nought on a harmless delivery had me seething and then without a care in world, he just marched towards team dugout, chewing on his quite visible bubble-gum. That was helluva ugly.

You want to be seen as reincarnation of Viv Richards but I never saw bubble-gum showing out of Viv's mouth.
 
Its definitely not a rivalry anymore.

As for Sky, he is already tied with Kohli for most Man of the match awards for India in t20is, averages 38 with 166 str rate.

He has given enough performances, he can say whatever he wants. He is already a t20 legend.
 
I wouldn't expect a captain to say this, but he is spot on here. I mean Indians knows they will win and we know we will lose. The fact that the last 7 matches are all won by India speaks itself about the domination.

As another poster pointed out Pak vs India is more of an ideological and political rivalry then a cricket one. We can step into any sporting arena and there will be few expectations from the people to not lose to either country even thou if they just don't follow that particular sport. Javelin throw is one such case I bet 90% of us didn't even knew about this sport till it became Arshad vs Neeraj rivalry and now they both make headlines whenever they are about to clash anywhere. So, this IndvsPak won't die as it has been for long a money making lottery for ICC, BCCI and PCB.

Let us be fair here. There were no ODIs till 1979. Only Tests.

1950s India won 2 tests, Pakistan won 1.

1960s India was slightly better with spin quartet but no cricket due to wars

1970s India won 2, Pakistan won 2.

1980s Pakistan much better than India in both tests and ODIs. Won a test series in India.

1990s Pakistan was still better than India, winning more tests and ODIs.

2000s India won 4 tests, Pakistan won 3. Pakistan won a few more ODIs but India won a test series in Pakistan. India also won T20 World Cup Final.

2010s India was much better than Pakistan. But Pakistan at least won Champions Trophy Final.

2020s Gap increasing now.
 
At this point, he is just throwing press statements for some social media masala. Probably thought of this line while in shower and decided to say it whether someone asked the question or not. :yk
