“It will take some beating since Pakistan is an extraordinary team” Ravichandran Ashwin.

Experienced Indian spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has expressed his belief that conquering Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup and the upcoming ODI World Cup, set to commence on October 5 in Ahmedabad, will pose a formidable challenge. Recently, under the leadership of Babar Azam, the Pakistani side showcased their prowess by sweeping Afghanistan 3-0 in the ODI series. This achievement propelled them to the coveted number-one ranking in the world, highlighting their undeniable potential.

Commending Pakistan’s exceptional performance in the realm of white-ball cricket, Ashwin underscored the importance of consistency exhibited by Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan. Ashwin stressed that if these two players manage to sustain their high-level performances over the next three months, Pakistan’s cricket team could emerge as a potent force to reckon with. Notably, Ashwin also acknowledged the significant depth in Pakistan’s squad, a factor that he believes will play a crucial role in their future endeavors.

Ashwin on his YT said “If Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan consistently dish out performances with the bat, Pakistan will be one hell of a team heading into this Asia Cup and the World Cup. It will take some beating since Pakistan is an extraordinary team. It is all down to their (Pakistan’s) squad depth. Pakistan has invariably developed exceptional cricketers.”
