NEW DELHI: India captain Rohit Sharma has opted to downplay the pre-match excitement ahead of the highly awaited Asia Cup clash between India and Pakistan. He has instead emphasised that their primary focus is to use the tournament as an opportunity to refine their preparations for the upcoming home World Cup later this year.
The rivalry between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is renowned for its emotional intensity. However, these encounters are now primarily limited to multi-team events due to the longstanding political tensions between the two neighbouring nations.
