India came into ICC Men’s T20 World Cup game against Pakistan with a 12-0 unbeaten record against their rivals in T20 and 50-over World Cups, but Babar Azam and Co broke the jinx on Sunday in some style to win by 10 wickets at the Dubai International Stadium.
Speaking after the match, India Kohli dismissed suggestions that India were over-confident heading into the match.
“You don’t go out there to take anything lightly, especially when play a team like Pakistan who on their day can beat anyone in the world,” said Kohli.
“They were very professional. You have to give them credit, we tried out best. We tried to create enough pressure but they had the answers. No shame in accepting that a team played better than you.”
Kohli was not impressed by a suggestion that Ishan Kishan could have been selected instead of Rohit Sharma after India’s T20 World Cup defeat against Pakistan.
He went on to add that the team will benefit from the week’s break before taking on New Zealand next and was confident of bouncing back by trusting their process.
