Ex Indian cricketer Atul Wassan surprised everyone with his statements on the upcoming match of India and Pakistan.

When former Indian cricket player Atul Wassan announced that he wants Pakistan to defeat India in Sunday’s Champions Trophy match in Dubai, it caught everyone off guard. Pakistan will take on strong opponent India in the duel of the heavyweights in an attempt to maintain its championship defense. After losing to New Zealand by 60 runs in the opening match of the competition, Pakistan ended up in this situation.

The Men in Green would require a lot of different combinations to turn things around and save their campaign if they maintain their dismal performance against India on Sunday. Wassan thinks that if Pakistan wins the crucial match, the competition will become much more thrilling.

“I want Pakistan to win because the tournament will be enjoyable. What will you do if you keep Pakistan from winning? It turns into a rivalry if Pakistan prevails. Wassan told ANI, “There should be an equal fight.”

Ex Indian cricketer praised India’s batting depth in the starting lineup while analyzing their team for the current Champions Trophy. He believed that India is the greatest squad and supported their plan to launch a spin-heavy attack in Dubai given the circumstances.

“You have several talented hitters, including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill. In Axar Patel, you are batting up to number eight. The five spinners that Rohit selected are the best for Dubai. “Go forward and have faith in what you have,” he continued.
