Billionaire businessman Anand Mahindra on Sunday conducted a poll on Twitter asking netizens whether they should watch the India vs Pakistan T20 International match in the Asia Cup.
He wrote, “So should I watch today’s Indo-Pak face-off in Dubai or will he freak it out? I will follow the recommendation of the election.” About 75% of the 15,088 people voted that the businessman should watch today’s game. Voting will continue for the next five hours.
Meanwhile, India will open their Asia Cup title defense in the much-awaited clash against Pakistan in Dubai today.
India will take on Pakistan in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 this evening and the players will have a change of mind after suffering a humiliating defeat the last time these two Asian giants clashed on the cricket pitch.
“First game on 28. We’ll try to stay in the present. Preparation-wise, we won’t be short. We’re not looking at the opposition at all. What we need to achieve as a group is more important than the opposition We have to think of it as our another opposition whom we want to beat and do well against. It will undoubtedly be challenging. We have to be prepared for it,” Rohit said in a video posted by BCCI. Said, in which it is also shown other members of Team India.
Virat Kohli also said that it is like any other sport for him as a player.
He said, “Of course the outside environment can draw you in. But it’s up to you to enjoy it and be excited till you come to the park. Then, it’s normal business for you.”
