New Delhi: The schedule of Asia Cup 2023 was released on Wednesday evening. India will start the Asia Cup on 2 September with a match against their arch-rivals Pakistan (India vs Pakistan). In such a situation, BCCI has posted a video of Indian team head coach Rahul Dravid on his Twitter handle. Dravid admitted that there is a possibility of facing Pakistan three times in the Asia Cup.
one step at a time-
Dravid said, “The time has come for the Asia Cup and you have to play Pakistan three times to qualify for the Super-4s, so take it one step at a time. I can’t imagine winning already.”
need to play good cricket
Team India head coach Dravid said that we know that we have to compete against Pakistan and Nepal in the first two matches, we need to focus on that, we need to play good cricket, we need to win those matches. And then have to see where the tournament is going on. If we get a chance to play him three times, I think it would be fantastic.
want to win the final
It means we will reach the final of the tournament (Asia Cup 2023 Final) and hopefully Pakistan will also reach the final. It will be a great competition for us and we definitely aim to make it happen. We definitely want to play till the final and win the final, but we have to take the first two steps against Pakistan and Nepal (Pak vs NEP). India, Pakistan and Nepal are in the same Group A.
