India and Pakistan are in the same group for Asia Cup 2023. The Asia Cup is expected to be played in Pakistan.

India played the Asia Cup in Pakistan which took place in 2008 too.

Currently, the Indian Cricket Team is in action against Sri Lanka in the ongoing three-match T20I series. Whereas on the other hand, Babar Azam’s men are locking horns in the second of the two Match Test series at the National Stadium in Karachi.

The men in green locked horns with India last time in the super-12 match of the 20-20 World Cup 2022 where the former Indian skipper and veteran batter Virat Kohli played a historic unbeaten knock of 82 runs to rescue India from a miserable condition of 31 runs for the loss of four wickets to a successful run-chase against the arch-rivals.

The 34-year-old also won the ‘player of the match award for his sensational knock and made the entire cricketing fraternity bow down to his batting brilliance.
