Yuvraj Singh also said that he is looking forward to the match-up between Mohammad Amir and Rohit Sharma in the most awaited T20 World Cup 2024 clash between the Asian Giants.
"I think we're all moved by the emotion of the India-Pakistan game because we have a lot of history. Pakistan have got some really fiery bowlers. I think we got a stronger batting side. I'm definitely looking at Mohammad Amir vs Rohit because he likes to get the ball full and then Shaheen Afridi against Virat. I think these are going to be some big matchups. But at the end of the day, you have to use your mind. You have to play according to the situation and I feel the team that plays according to the situation and keeps the emotion back will definitely win this game," Yuvraj said.
