Extremely well said. He stated an obvious fact and it puts more pressure on the Pakistan team. The likes of Kohli always tried to please the fans in Pakistan as well, so could never say something like this. This is India’s era of dominance and there’s no denying that. Pakistan might win a match here and there but overall India will continue to be the superior, dominant team.
@Mamoon is absolutely right about Indian fans. Most of them are too meek and afraid of losing.
Even if Pakistan reaches the final and somehow beats India, so what? That doesn’t change the bigger picture. There’s a reason why Pakistanis celebrate a victory against India so much. For them it’s a massive achievement.
For us, beating them is normal and expected.
The rivalry of course exists for reasons outside cricket, but as the Indian cricket team captain, he made the right statement. Not a fan of his sarcastic approach to the media though. (C) stands for captain, not clown. He should show a tad bit more respect to that title.
