World Cup 2019: During the 2019 World Cup captains’ conference, when he and his Indian counterpart, Virat Kohli, were both asked about the India-Pakistan rivalry, Sarfaraz Ahmed, the former captain of Pakistan, related a humorous event. Sarfaraz’s response turned out to be the more intriguing of the two, while Kohli responded in-depth. With a wide smile, the wicketkeeper-batsman said that Kohli’s response was the same as his own.
According to Sarfaraz, when he and Kohli were questioned by journalists about the hoopla preceding an India-Pakistan match, he advised them to start by asking the Indian captain. He recalled that the competition had been held in England, and he kept wondering when Kohli would finish his explanation. After hearing Kohli’s answer, Ahmed wryly responded, “Same answer.”
“I told them to approach Virat first when they inquired about the buzz around an India vs. Pakistan game and how we respond when people ask us for tickets. I urged him, ‘Why don’t you respond first, brother?’ And Virat simply began and continued. It happened in England. When you’re going to cease, my question to him was, ‘Bhai, when will you?’ He kept using complex English expressions, and all I could think was, ‘Who is going to interpret all of this?’. “Same answer,” Sarfaraz said in the Nadir Ali Podcast as he continued to listen.
Sarfaraz Ahmed remembers defeating India in the 2017 Champions Trophy.
In addition, Sarfaraz Ahmed remembered Pakistan’s last match against India in the 2017 Champions Trophy, which they won. He said that there are no words to describe winning a final versus India.
He continued by saying that although they had previously defeated India, doing so in a competition as important as the Champions Trophy was an enormous accomplishment.
“Winning the Champions Trophy is a memory I’ll never forget. There are no adequate words to express how satisfying it was to defeat India in the championship. It wouldn’t have been such a huge deal if it had been a typical match. We had previously defeated India in games played in bilateral series and ICC competitions; in fact, we had won more. But it was wonderful to triumph over a side that could chase down any total,” added Ahmed.
