Former cricketer Yuvraj Singh expressed that the team capable of controlling their emotions will emerge victorious in the highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2024 match between India and Pakistan.

He expressed his anticipation for the highly anticipated match between Mohammad Amir and Rohit Sharma, emphasizing the excitement surrounding this clash in the upcoming tournament.
Yuvraj said “I think we’re all moved by the emotion of the India-Pakistan game because we have a lot of history. Pakistan has got some fiery bowlers. I think we got a stronger batting side. I’m looking at Mohammad Amir vs Rohit because he likes to get the ball full and then Shaheen Afridi against Virat. I think these are going to be some big matchups. But at the end of the day, you have to use your mind. You have to play according to the situation, and I feel the team that plays according to the situation and keeps the emotion back will win this game.”
