Talking about the rivalry, he said, 'Nothing is guaranteed when the two countries meet, every match is like a final.'
Nothing is guaranteed
"Whatever the format, India-Pakistan games always feel like finals - be it a group match, semi-final or championship. The pressure is very high. You don't want to lose because it creates the atmosphere of the tournament. Winning builds momentum and confidence. I remember the last time I played in the Champions Trophy, we beat Pakistan in the first game, but they beat us in the final. So, nothing is guaranteed, but to start with a win on such a big stage, when the whole world is watching, is very important," Yuvraj Singh said on Jio Hotstar's 'Greatest Rivalry Returns' show.
Yuvraj played a brilliant innings.
