Kumble responded that the pressure is on all the stars and just like any other match India-Pak match should be considered. “When I was playing, even if India lost to Kenya, there would be no problem with the fans. But if they lose to Pakistan, they will not tolerate it.” – Kumble clarified during a private event.
“When we were playing, it was like ‘lose to Kenya but not to Pakistan.” Such is the pressure in India-Pakistan matches.”- Kumble said in Bengaluru. Currently India and Pakistan face each other in cricket only in ICC organized tournaments and Asia Cup. The Asia Cup matches will start on August 30. India’s first match will be against Pakistan on September 2. The India-Pak fight is in Kandy, Sri Lanka.
All the major matches of the tournament hosted by Pakistan will be played in Sri Lanka due to pressure from BCCI. From the beginning, the BCCI had taken a stand that they would not send the team to Pakistan for the Asia Cup. Then the Pakistan Cricket Board put forward the ‘Hybrid Model’. Meanwhile, Pakistan will play in the ODI World Cup in India.
