The India vs Pakistan rivalry is one of the greatest in the cricketing fraternity. Both sides, over the years, have produced some of the great players and have given the fans some blockbuster entertainment. However, in recent times, the India vs Pakistan rivalry has been one-sided as the Men in Blue are unbeaten in the last 9 matches out of the last 10 encounters.
The India vs Pakistan rivalry has been shifted as the matches have also become one-sided affairs with no fight from the Men in Green. The last time Pakistan won a game was back in 2022 in the T20 Asia Cup format. In the World Cups, especially in the ODI format, Pakistan has never beaten the Men in Blue side, as the record is 8-0 In favour of India.
The two teams will once again be up against each other during the Asian Games 2026. It is going to be a new side for both teams with different captains. Shreyas Iyer, who is named as the T20I captain, will head to his first major tournament as a leader; on the other hand, Sahibzada Farhan will be leading the side in the competition.
However, India is sending a full-strength squad to the Asian Games 2026, while Pakistan is sending a mixture of experienced and young players for the Asian competition. Amidst all these, Aaqib Javed, who currently serves as the Director of High Performance for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has issued a warning to the India National Cricket Team.
Aaqib Javed believes that they will be able to beat India in the Asian Games 2026, as they have done in the U-19 competitions and also in the List A games, as they have made the team keeping in mind the prospects and giving opportunities to them.
They have beaten India- Aaqib Javed on India vs Pakistan rivalry
"I am hopeful that, just as they have beaten India and given them a tough time at the Under-19 level and at the Shaheen (A-team) level, they can deliver similar performances here as well."
"But nothing is permanent. As far as the team India has announced and the team we have selected is concerned, our thinking from day one has been that this is the kind of opportunity where you give chances to your core players as well as the upcoming players."
"That was our plan — to try a mix of a few experienced players and a few young players. We are hopeful that, just as they defeated India and challenged them strongly at the Under-19 and Shaheen levels, they can produce similar performances this time too."
