India Cricket Captain Declares Pakistan No Longer Rival After Asia Cup Win

India's cricket captain Suryakumar Yadav declared that the India-Pakistan cricket matches no longer constitute a true rivalry due to India's dominant record, especially in T20 internationals where India has won 12 out of 15 matches. This sentiment was expressed following India's six-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super Four match, continuing a winning streak that has widened the competitive gap significantly. Suryakumar explained that a rivalry requires closely contested matches, which is not the case currently as the head-to-head results heavily favor India. The matches are being played amidst political tensions between the two countries, with players notably refusing to shake hands post-match. Despite the dominance, India acknowledges the need to improve, as fielding errors were highlighted and addressed by the team management. The focus now is on maintaining winning momentum and improving performance, with upcoming matches in the Asia Cup seen as critical.
