ICC T20 World Cup 2021: Top players to watch out for in India vs Pakistan contest
India and Pakistan are set to face each other in their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 clash on Sunday (October 24) and the hype around the match has now reached a new level.
While India are one of the favourites to clinch the prestigiious title, it would be foolish to write off Pakistan because the Men In Green are known for registering big wins. Ahead of the high-voltage encounter, take a look at 5 players to watch out for:
1. Virat Kohli
Team India skipper is slightly out of form and it is his last chance to win a T20 World Cup as captain because he has already announced to quit as India T20I captain after the World Cup.
2. Babar Azam
Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is without doubt the best batsman in his team and it is often said that he is ‘Virat Kohli of Pakistan’. Babar’s contribution will play an important role in deciding the outcome of the match.
3. Rohit Sharma
The explosive right-handed batsman is regarded by many as one of the most talented openers in white-ball cricket. The ‘Hitman’ has the potential to destroy best of bowling attacks and Pakistani bowlers would find it tough to keep him under check.
4. Fakhar Zaman
Indian fans can never forget Fakhar Zaman as he single-handedly led Pakistan to victory in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 final. Fakhar Zaman was initially not a part of Pakistan’s preliminary World Cup squad but was later added to the team.
5. Jasprit Bumrah
Regarded by many as one of the best fast bowlers in white-ball cricket, Bumrah has played an important role in helping India become one of the best team in the world.
