Gautam Gambhir on Cricket Rivalry says, “If Pakistan Defeats India, It’s An Upset…”

In the world of cricket, the on-field rivalry between India and Pakistan is considered to be one of the most intense battles. The two teams have not played a bilateral series in around a decade due to political tensions, and as a result, their matches in international or continental competitions are some of the most highly anticipated encounters on the calendar. The last time these two teams faced each other was in the Cricket World Cup 2023, and India was able to extend their unbeaten run against Pakistan in the tournament. Former India opener Gautam Gambhir believes that India is currently “far superior” in comparison to Pakistan, and as a result, the balance in the rivalry is not the same as earlier.
Gautam Gambhir said, “Pakistan has dominated India a lot of times. Currently, if you see the level of both teams, India is far superior to Pakistan in all three formats. If Pakistan defeats India, it’s an upset; if India defeats Pakistan, it’s very much given.”
India went unbeaten in the Cricket World Cup 2023 before they were eventually defeated by Australia in the final. Gambhir said that the rivalry between India and Australia has emerged as a top one in the recent past, and he believes that it has even surpassed the India-Pakistan cricket rivalry.
Gambhir added, “India and Australia, from a cricketing point of view, are a top rivalry. If you ask a cricket fan what the actual rivalry is, they will also say India and Australia.”
