Pakistan skipper Babar Azam is awestruck to see the cricket atmosphere of India. Ahead of Pakistan's game against Australia in the ongoing World Cup, Babar stated that every stadium in India has a different vibe.

"We are here for the first time and we do not get these opportunities a lot. Every stadium in India has a different vibe and a different feel. So, trying to enjoy that wherever we go," Babar Azam said in a Star Sports video.

This is the first time that the Pakistan team under the leadership of Babar Azam has come to India to take part in an international game. Back in 2016, Pakistan visited India to take part in the T20 World Cup. The Men in Green under the leadership of Babar Azam have won two games played in Hyderabad, but then they suffered a huge defeat at the hands of India at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The wicket and conditions of Hyderabad actually suited the Pakistan side and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan even said that it seemed like they were playing in Rawalpindi. Earlier, when the Pakistan side reached India, they received a grand welcome at Hyderabad. The crowd also came in massive numbers to support Pakistan players at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.

The Men in Green will be locking horns with Australia on October 20 in the M Chinnaswamy Stadium of Bengaluru, which is reckoned to be a batter's paradise. Babar Azam-led team will hope to make a comeback against Australia after losing to India. Australia on the other hand will be looking for a second win in a row after outplaying Sri Lanka in their previous match. Talking about the points table, Pakistan are placed at the fourth position, while Australia are at seven spot.
