IND vs PAK, Champions Trophy: Why Pakistan are favourites despite India having more match-winners? Yuvraj Singh explains

Live Mint  

Rohit Sharma's men might have more match-winners than Pakistan but former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh weighed on the Men in Green ahead of the marquee clash on Sunday in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in Dubai. A two-time World Cup winner, Yuvraj Singh felt Pakistan would get the home advantage as they have played a lot of cricket in Dubai. I believe that even if Pakistan has fewer match-winners, one player can still take the game away,” added Yuvraj Singh, who was the player of the Series in 2011 World Cup. IND vs PAK is not all about match-winners alone Known to be as one of the most fiercest cricketing rivalry in the world, the India vs Pakistan clash is not all about match-winners alone, according to Yuvraj Singh.
