‘Invaluable experience’

India are yet to lose a Super Six game while Pakistan have won two and lost one. With England almost through from the group, the India-Pakistan game would be like a knockout for both sides and hence the stakes would be sky-high. 

Following the interaction, the Board of Control of Cricket in India took to X to share a few pictures and give an insight over what happened during the video interaction. 

"In what was an invaluable experience, the next generation got insights and perspectives on the important ingredients for success and longevity in an ever evolving sport, not just limited to technical skills and remaining fit but also the importance of staying focused, disciplined, humble and rooted in success," the BCCI tweeted.

Spotlight on Suryavanshi

There is no doubt that the spotlight would be on teen sensation Vaibhav Suryavnashi. He is the one to watch out for. Suryavanshi is going to be the key to India's chances as he has the ability to get the side off to a good start and set the tone early. India would dearly hope for a good start in the big game as that would settle the nerves in the dressing room.
