Pakistan skipper Babar Azam has stated that he will not reveal the discussions that he had with Indian captain Virat Kohli before the toss on 24th October 2021, during the 2021 T20 World Cup.
Both these cricketing stalwarts were seen having a chat on the day the two arch-rivals clashed on the biggest stage in the T20 format of the game.
“I won’t reveal the discussion in front of everyone,” said Babar Azam as quoted by Samaa TV, when he was asked about what the two cricketers spoke about before the toss.
Pakistan decimated India by 10 wickets in the T20 World Cup
As far as the match is concerned, it was the Pakistan side that came out on top. The ‘Men in Green’ absolutely hammered the Indian side with 10 wickets to spare, and recorded their first-ever World Cup win against their arch-rivals.
India wielded the willow first and posted a competitive total of 151, with skipper Virat Kohli leading the way with a classy 49-ball 57. However, the Pakistan side made light work of the chase and chased down the target in disdainful fashion.
The Pakistan openers, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam destroyed the Indian bowling attack, as Pakistan romped home with all 10 wickets in their kitty. Both Rizwan and Azam plundered half-centuries.
India were knocked out of the 2021 T20 World Cup in the Super 12 stages of the tournament. On the other hand, the Pakistan side qualified to the knockout stages of the competition, where they were beaten by eventual champions Australia in the semi-finals.
Babar Azam was the leading run-getter of the 2021 T20 World Cup and amassed 303 runs in 6 innings at a superb average of 60.60. He also scored 4 fifties in the tournament as well.
