After 38 years down the line, It's 8-5 in India's favour against Pakistan for coming Asia Cup

After a nine-month break, one of the greatest rivalries in cricket is poised to resurface. Cricket fans all around the world have been kept away from the high-octane action between India and Pakistan, and the hype for the giants is enormous.

India, the defending champion, will try to defend their title and continue on the path that would lead them to the World T20I, which will be played in Australia later this year.

This year's Asia Cup will be played in a 20-over format, and all competing Asian nations will get a taste of what the World Cup may have in store for them.

This will be the first encounter between these two teams, who met in the Men's T20 World Cup last year in the UAE, where Pakistan easily defeated India by a 10-wicket margin to claim their first world



cup win over the men in blue.

When it comes to the Asia Cup, Team India has the most successful record. The Indian squad now has seven Asia Cup victories to its name (1984, 1988, 1990-91, 1995, 2010, 2016, and 2018), and they will be looking for an eighth title when they face archrivals Pakistan on August 28, 2022.

After 38 years and huge advancements in the game since Gavaskar led the Indian team to their first Asia Cup championship, Rohit Sharma and company will shortly embark on their trek to win their eighth Asia Cup trophy.

Senior players who were rested for the Zimbabwe tour, including Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and others, have regrouped in the United Arab Emirates to perfect their game ahead of the marquee Indo-Pak showdown.
