Yuvraj Singh identifies key Pakistan bowlers as threats to Rohit and Virat

Former Indian all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has identified crucial match-ups for the highly anticipated India vs. Pakistan clash in the T20 World Cup on Sunday. 

The two arch-rivals, currently in contrasting forms, will face off at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.

The newly built stadium's drop-in pitch has come under scrutiny for being difficult to bat on, raising concerns for the USA's efforts to promote cricket domestically.

“I think we’re all moved by the emotion of the India-Pakistan game because we have a lot of history. Pakistan have got some really fiery bowlers. I think we got a stronger batting side," Yuvraj said.

In a video released by the ICC, Yuvraj highlighted two key battles: Mohammad Amir vs Rohit Sharma and Shaheen Afridi vs Virat Kohli.

"I’m definitely looking at Mohammad Amir vs Rohit because he likes to get the ball full and then Shaheen Afridi against Virat. I think these are going to be some big match ups. But at the end of the day, you have to use your mind. You have to play according to the situation and I feel the team which plays according to the situation and keeps the emotion back will definitely win this game,” he concluded.

It is worth noting that the Men in Green had a rough start to their T20 World Cup campaign, losing to the co-hosts in a super over. Meanwhile, the Indian team began their journey with a win against Ireland.
