Mumbai: The rain threat continues to loom large over the much-awaited India versus Pakistan ICC World Twenty20 clash in Kolkata. However, fans would be hoping that the rain Gods remain kind and let the on-field drama take over the skyline anxieties.
While the rival camps had been courteous, with Virat Kohli gifting his bat to Mohammad Amir and Suresh Raina exchanging a bear hug with Shoaib Malik ahead of the big game, there will not be any pleasantries exchanged as the Mahendra Singh Dhoni-led side takes field against Shahid Afridi’s Pakistan in what could be a do or die encounter for the hosts.
There was a lot of tension before the Pakistani team arrived in India for the mega event and hence, it won’t be surprising if some of it escalates on the field of play. The clashes between the bitter rivals have always been witnessed fiery contests.
