The India vs Pakistan rivalry is arguably the greatest in the game of cricket. The two teams will clash in Dubai on Sunday in the T20 World Cup. In this article, we take a look at a conversation in which a Pakistan anchor asks MS Dhoni to lose the match and MSD replies back with a smile.
India and Pakistan to clash in Dubai
It has been a while since India and Pakistan have met in an international game. In recent years, the sides meet only in ICC events. Hence, when there is an India Pakistan game, there is bound to be extreme coverage and attention. At the moment, India enjoys a 12-0 record over the arch-rivals in the World Cups.
While India is the favourite to win this game, as well, Pakistan does have a few impact players like Babar Azam and Shaheen Afridi who could pull the game towards their side. Hence, Virat Kohli‘s India will need to be wary of them in the match.

The anchor said, “Mahi just leave this match… in the next match. Not this match please.” MS Dhoni replied, “Humara kaam hi aisa hai” and also smiled back at the request. She also had a word with KL Rahul, who also replied back with a smile. While KL Rahul is the in-form batsman for Team India, MSD is the squad’s mentor. Both will have an important role in India’s pursuit of an ICC event after a very long time.
