On the eve of the India vs Pakistan match in Asia Cup 2023, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma spoke to the press where he blatantly accepted that he was playing high-risk cricket.

"I have played a lot of cricket so it's important to use that experience. Will do what the team requires from me. In the past two years, I have played a different brand of cricket - it was a high-risk cricket when it comes to batting. I need to bring the right balance to my game - when it comes to taking risks," Rohit said in a pre-match press conference.

Pakistan skipper Babar Azam on the other hand spoke about the camaraderie with Virat Kohli.

"The debate that has been going on should be left to them. I don't want to comment on it. Everybody has their point of view. There should be mutual respect. I have been taught that we should respect our seniors. I have learned a lot from him. I have said in a lot of interviews that in 2019 I talked to him and he helped me a lot. He has been helpful," Babar said in the pre-match conference.
