"Shot selection acchi ho toh koi problem nehi. Situation ke hisaab se shot selection karein, koi problem nahi (If your shot selection is right, then you won’t have any problem. Always pick your shots as per the match situation and you won’t have to worry about anything else),” said Gavaskar while advising Babar Azam and few other Pakistan players.

Notably, India and Pakistan are all set to lock horns with each other for the third time since their encounter in the 20-20 World 2021. Last time, both teams crossed swords in the Asia Cup 2022 for two times. India won the group match by a margin of five wickets. Whereas Pakistan outplayed the men in blue in the super-4 match by the same margin to clear off the account.

Talking about the Indo-Pak clash in the 20-20 World Cup, the men in green completely outmuscled the Indians by a massive margin of 10 wickets in last year’s 20-20 World Cup.
