India have an unbeaten record against Pakistan in ICC 50-over World Cup and will look to keep the record intact.

On, the other hand, Pakistan managed to beat India in the T20 World Cup 2021 and once in the Super 4 stage of Asia Cup 2022 last year. The rivalry has intensified since India’s loss to Pakistan in the T20 World Cup two years ago.

Pakistan were not happy with Ahmedabad as a venue for the India-Pakistan clash but their request for a change of venue was denied by the BCCI and the ICC. There were many deliberations about Pakistan even playing in the tournament.

However, with India agreeing to play in the Asia Cup owing to its hybrid model, Pakistan will also now be a part of the ICC World Cup 2023. In this article, we take a look at five players who will be crucial in India beating Pakistan in the World Cup clash.

SKY has revolutionized T20 batting ever since making his international T20 debut. However, he is yet to flourish in the ODI format. He looks to be India’s answer to their number four conundrum ahead of the ICC World Cup 2023.

He has a reputation for being a big player in important matches for India. He has shown that in the T20 World Cup as well in the match against South Africa where he scored a fighting 68 off 40 balls while the rest of the batters were dismissed cheaply. Though India, lost the game, his knock was talked about a lot.

Pandya with his all-round abilities can make a difference in the India-Pakistan match. He has enough experience playing against Pakistan in big matches and will need to bring all of that into use in the high-octane clash. That he will be playing in Ahmedabad his home ground in the IPL should give him extra motivation. He can change the course of the game both with bat and ball.

Bumrah is expected to get fit by the time the World Cup starts in India. He has already missed a lot of international cricket for India in the last two years and should now make up for it with a match-winning performance with the ball for India against Pakistan.

He has played just five ODI games against Pakistan and taken just four wickets. Bumrah went for 52 runs in the 2019 ODI World Cup match at Manchester four years ago but needs to come up with a better bowling effort.

Kuldeep Yadav

Spinners from both sides will play a key role in this India-Pakistan game. This is where Kuldeep Yadav comes into the picture. He played the last World Cup game against Pakistan and dismissed Babar Azam. Babar is likely to be the biggest threat to India in the World Cup game along with Mohammad Rizwan. If Kuldeep can get both of them early, India will have a better chance of winning the game.

Arshdeep Singh

India must play Arshdeep Singh in the match against Pakistan. His left-arm angle posed a lot of problems for the Pakistan batters in the T20 World Cup game.

He had a brilliant opening burst where he dismissed Babar and Rizwan in quick succession. He needs to do something similar in the World Cup clash against Pakistan in Ahmedabad. If all the above-mentioned players play their roles to perfection, India will surely end up beating Pakistan in the marquee clash.
