The start of the reserve day of the Asia Cup Super 4 match between India and Pakistan has been delayed due to wet conditions. The rain has currently stopped and the covers are being removed.

India vs Pakistan: Here’s what Mohammed Kaif said about Shaheen

“Shaheen will continue to bring the ball in, bowling his inswing. He has told himself that his game plan is very simple, bring the ball in and fast, whatever the batsman wants to do let him, his game plan is straightforward – bring the ball in, hit the pad and hit the stumps. So it will be exciting to see Virat Kohli in the form he is to take him on, it is the most key matchup of the game. What makes Virat special is his ability to play in the big matches, and he won’t play on the back foot. Naseem Shah, Afridi or Rauf, whoever is bowling, don’t play on the back foot. If you get the chance, even on the first ball, look for the boundary.”

India vs Pakistan: Here’s what Mohammed Kaif said about Virat Kohli

“Overcoming challenges is one of Virat’s best qualities. That has become his habit. It’s a big match, and his record against Pakistan is great. Whenever he plays against Pakistan, his bat does the talking. And people have high expectations of him. People have expectations from someone who performs regularly. For newer players, as it is a big game, the expectations are not as high. But the senior players, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, if they fail, the fans don’t like it at all. There is no compromise on that; they have to perform with the bat and continue their form of the past two or three years and perform well at the World Cup also,” Kaif told Star Sports
