Ever since the schedule was announced for the T20 World Cup, the craziness started building for the India-Pakistan clash. Rain will play a huge role as there are chances that it might rain on Sunday in Melbourne.

The Indian skipper Rohit Sharma in an interview on the BCCI website said, “Whenever we play Pakistan, we know it’s going to be a blockbuster. People will want to come out and watch the match and feel the atmosphere. They would obviously want to enjoy the cricket as well but at the same time, the atmosphere in the stadium for the fans and the spectators, even people who are watching from home is pretty exciting. For us as players, of course, it is a big game, the staring of our campaign but at the same time, we want to keep ourselves relaxed and focus on what we need to do as individuals because that is going to be the key for us. If individuals can keep themselves calm and composed in the game, we’ll get the results we are looking for”.
