Atul Wassan’s Bold Wish: Pakistan to Triumph Over India in Champions Trophy
In an unexpected turn of events, former Indian cricketer Atul Wassan has expressed his desire for Pakistan to defeat India in the highly anticipated Champions Trophy match set to take place in Dubai. This clash of cricketing giants promises to be a thrilling encounter, especially given Pakistan’s recent struggles after their opening loss to New Zealand.
The Stakes Are High
Wassan emphasized the excitement that a Pakistan victory would bring to the tournament, stating, “I want Pakistan to win because it will be fun, tournament-wise. If you don’t let Pakistan win, then what will you do? If Pakistan wins, then it becomes a contest. There should be an equal fight.” His words resonate with many fans who crave competitive balance in such high-stakes matches.
India’s Strengths and Weaknesses
While praising India’s batting depth, Wassan noted that the team is well-equipped for the conditions in Dubai, highlighting players like Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma, and Virat Kohli. However, he voiced his disappointment over Rishabh Pant’s exclusion from the playing XI in favor of KL Rahul. Wassan believes that Pant’s presence could unsettle the opposition, a quality that Rahul may not possess to the same extent.
“You let Rishabh Pant down. If you let a good player enter this situation that he won’t play, the hero in him becomes zero,” Wassan commented, reflecting concerns that the decision could have long-term implications for Pant’s confidence and performance.
