Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels that the Ashes series between England and Australia is not the biggest rivalry in world cricket and the rivalry between India and Pakistan is the biggest in world cricket.
The Ashes rivalry is regarded as one of the biggest rivalries in the history of world cricket, Australia and England players give everything to win the marquee Test series for their team. The recently concluded Ashes 2021-22 series was a one-sided affair as Australia dominated throughout the series and won by 4-0.

Meanwhile, currently, India and Pakistan compete against each other only in the tournaments organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC). The last time India and Pakistan locked horns was in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021, where Pakistan won for the very first time against India in the world cup. Notably, the Babar Azam-led side won the match by 10 wickets.
The ICC has revealed the fixtures for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 and once again the India-Pakistan game will be witnessed by the fans. The battle between the arch-rivals is set to begin on October 23 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
India, Pakistan, South Africa, Bangladesh have all been placed in Group 2 of the tournament and the winner of Group B and runner-up of Group A will also join the group.
Looking forward to Rohit Sharma being the captain – Michael Vaughan
Former England skipper Michael Vaughan has said that he is looking forward to Rohit Sharma leading the Indian team in the upcoming T20 World Cup game against Pakistan. He added that the upcoming event will be an epic one.
“I think, we being England and Australia ex-players, we all kind of think of the Ashes as the biggest game in world cricket, it’s not! India vs Pakistan is the biggest game.”
“ Looking forward to Rohit Sharma being the captain, probably the first time he’s going to be under real pressure. It’s going to be an epic event,” Vaughan said while speaking to Star Sports.
Notably, Virat Kohli stepped down as India’s T20I captain after the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2021 and Rohit Sharma was appointed as the new white-ball captain of the Indian team.
