1983 World Cup winner discusses drama around India-Pakistan games

India and Pakistan have been playing each other in World events and Asia Cups since 2012-13. In December 2012 and January 2013, both teams played two T20Is and three ODIs. This year, with Asia Cup and ODI World Cup to be played, both teams will be at each other's throats. The first game between both teams will be played in the Asia Cup 2023.

With a little more than a month left in the game, former India skipper Kapil Dev has said the pressure for the game starts building up when fans asked the team not to lose against Pakistan.

"What is pressure? Pressure doesn't come when you're facing the ball. It starts building up when your waiter gives you coffee and says, "Pakistan se nahi haarna (don't lose to Pakistan)". So that's how the build-up takes place," Kapil said.

India will play Pakistan and is expected to play against each other in the Super Four round. After all, they are grouped with Nepal and both Asian giants are favorites against the debutants.

I would like to meet Imran Khan but he is busy: Kapil Dev

The 1983 World Cup-winning captain also spoke about meeting long-time friend, Imran Khan. Dev said that he doesn't meet even his teammates as he and everybody have drifted towards their own life.

"I don't meet my own team members because I'm doing my own thing. I will ask you a similar question - are you in touch with all your school friends? Because we have drifted away or have our own life. How can I meet Imran Khan? He was the prime minister," he explained.
